This partnership underscores Lorna Jane's commitment to inspiring women towards fitness in their lives, engaging with their community, and supporting a cause that aligns with its mission to empower and support women.
“We believe in the power of community and this partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to inspire women to be active. Regular exercise has a profound impact on both our mental and physical wellbeing and partnering with parkrun supports our push to encourage participation in regular exercise that is accessible to everyone,” said Lorna Jane Clarkson, founder of Lorna Jane.
As physical and mental health concerns continue to rise, encouraging people to become more active is more important than ever. This partnership shines a light on the positive impact exercise can have on mental health, demonstrating Lorna Jane’s dedication to promoting a healthier lifestyle and having a positive impact. With the global trend towards running, Lorna Jane is eager to extend this opportunity to its community, encouraging participation in parkrun events.
Managing Director of parkrun Asia Pacific, Renee Gimbert said “Physical activity should be fun, social and outdoors, which is why parkrun is committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for everyone at our events. By partnering with Lorna Jane, an authentic and credible voice amongst women for more than 35 years, we hope to inspire many more women and girls to discover the joys of parkrun and to create friendships that last beyond a Saturday morning.”
