Running Mate on a Mission to End Violence Against Female Runners

Running Mate, the revolutionary runshare app designed to provide safety and support for female runners, is now available for download nationwide. Created by Dena Lewis after she was physically assaulted twice while running, Running Mate connects users with verified and compensated running partners, ensuring safer running experiences for women across the country.

Think of Running Mate as “Uber for Runners“, on a mission to bring the statistic “92% of women are concerned for their safety on a run” down to 0% through community, empowerment, and education.

The launch comes at a critical time, as statistics highlight the pressing safety concerns female runners face:

• 92% of women are concerned for their safety on a run. – Adidas
• 60% of women have experienced physical or verbal harassment while running. – Runner’s World Magazine
• 67% of women are concerned they could be physically attacked while running. – CBS News
