Fearless 5k 2024

By Merida Miller | Founder & CEO

A heartfelt thank you to our supporters, participants, and partners!

The second annual Fearless 5K was a huge success, with a global community of movers coming together to support Project Fearless and our mission to empower girls and kids. Here’s a look at what we achieved together:

By the Numbers

375 participants joined us in Amsterdam.
49 participants from across the globe—from Los Angeles to Melbourne—moved virtually.
€13,000 raised, directly supporting Project Fearless programs.

Event Highlights

New route: This year, the event took place in the scenic Amsterdamse Bos, complete with rainbows and endless photo ops.
Run Club representation: Our Run Club crew, led by Head Coach Karen Reeves and Assistant Coach Hildrun Dreyer, joined the fun, along with several past and present Project Fearless Coaches.
Junior Coaches in action: Special thanks to Indy and Cait, who stepped up as young leaders, embodying the Project Fearless spirit as they ran with style and strength.

Partnering for Impact

We’re incredibly grateful to The Athlete's Foot our event sponsor for the second consecutive year. Their partnership ensured that every euro raised by participants went directly toward empowering our community.

Global Energy, Local Impact

Despite a rainy day in Amsterdam, the atmosphere was electric, filled with smiles, encouragement, and a shared commitment to creating a more equitable future. The Fearless 5K didn’t just move 400+ people worldwide—it also strengthened our ability to reach even more kids and teens through our programs.

Looking Ahead

We’re thrilled to announce that the next Fearless 5K will take place on Sunday, 12th October 2025. Mark your calendars and get ready to move with us again!

Together, we’re making a difference. Thank you for helping us create opportunities for girls and kids to grow, lead, and thrive.

With gratitude,
The Project Fearless Team
