More Than Running. A Community Built on Connection.
Resilience Runners is a community running group in Cork, Ireland, created to bring people together through running, movement and meaningful connection.
Our Story
FROM ONE RUN TO A COMMUNITY BUILT ON CONNECTION
In 2024, Kadir founded Resilience Runners after experiencing his own mental health challenges and discovering the positive impact running could have on his wellbeing.
Through running with different organisations, he met people who were experiencing loneliness and a lack of connection.
That experience inspired a simple idea: create a running community where people could come together, meet new people, support their wellbeing, and feel that they belong. What started with a run became a community built around running, connection and resilience.
