What does it take to summit a mountain?

Go into the woods while it’s still dark to get to the top at sunrise. Seek trails that are technical, rooted, and rocky. Leap over water when no bridge exists.

What does it take to push the limits?

Realize what’s been possible in your past to see what’s possible in your future. Control your thoughts, control your pace, and push yourself a little harder, a little farther—and to stay there, to hold onto it, even when you’re terrified.

What does it take to start something?

Take the first step of your first run when you don’t even know how to. Then, find time to go to that class, run with that group, and keep showing up for you. What does it take to defy conventional norms? What does it take to bypass the status quo? To purposefully not want to fit in? Define a style, a path, and a journey of your own.

What does it take to defy conventional norms?

To bypass the status quo? To purposefully not want to fit in – instead defining a style, a path, a journey of your own.

It takes courage.

In 2023, Saucony is celebrating all moments. These include the seemingly small moments of personal discovery and the deep moments of courage that unite us as humans and runners. Join us in celebrating stories of courage both big and small. We want to hear from you. Please tag @saucony and use #takecourage on social media.
