55. Mark White - Run Grateful | Be inspired | Find your Purpose

Not Another Runner

Today’s guest is Mark White.. Mark, is a father to two, a husband, and of course another runner.

Mark is the founder of a community interest company called Your Town which has live “community up” initiatives/campaigns across various UK towns, including the Your Town Runners. In addition to this Mark also launched Run Grateful, in 2020 and has recently created and founded MEUS, (ME US) which is a platform to reimagine men’s health in order to support them physically, mentally, and spiritually.

In 2019, Mark was voted in the top 15 social entrepreneurs in the UK by Redbull.

Run Grateful is a global running campaign using the power of gratitude with running as the vehicle. Run Grateful has created Global events centred around gratitude practice, and its power when combined with movement/exercise, these events have extended its reach across 50 different countries!

Mark took on his own personal challenge for the first rendition of Run Grateful with a 24 hour challenge, running a 5km , followed by a mile on the hour every hour, dedicating each mile to something he was grateful for.

Run Grateful’s mission is to create a strong sense of community centred around this one emotion, gratitude, something that is incredibly personal, but something we can connect with through sharing stories and experiences.

“A Gratitude Walk or Run is not about speed, getting fitter, or even clearing your head; it is about being mindful about everything that adds abundance to your life” [Run Grateful]
