Bratislava Woman Creates Running Club to Help Female Runners Feel Safe

Lenka Tkáčová has founded the Slow Glow Running Club in Bratislava, a running group specifically designed for women who want to exercise without fear. The club addresses the reality that women experience running differently than men, particularly regarding safety concerns while jogging. Tkáčová created the group as an inclusive space for women of all fitness levels and running speeds, recognizing that female runners often face unique challenges and anxieties that male runners may not experience. The initiative reflects growing awareness of women's safety concerns in public spaces and sports activities.
