“You run for it! – to make social impacts”

Why do you run? Do you have a specific “why”? You may run for staying fit, run aiming for a PB, or run as a member of running clubs. We are sure that you have different reasons that you run. Seeing it from different perspectives, it means you run for society or someone unknown. No special preparations are needed. The way we look at this wonderful activity makes it more worthwhile. Anyone is welcome to take this as your first opportunity to start running. Why don’t you take a new step together with us for this period?

Dangers Lurking in Summer

  • An increase in crimes

    There is a tendency for crimes to increase in summer.
    More watchful eyes will lead to preventing crimes from occurring.

  • Water accidents

    Death by drowning in seas or at riverside takes place every year.
    We are out on patrol in such quiet places as riverside, ponds or channels to recognize if there is something unusual.

  • Heat stroke

    Heat stroke can happen to anybody.
    If you see someone suspected of having heat stroke symptoms while on patrol, let’s take desired actions to call out him/her just in case of an emergency.

Right To Run

Right To Run is the social impact program of On.
It is a critical way for us to manifest our brand values and On’s mission of igniting the human spirit through movement in our global communities.
Right To Run’s role in our mission is to democratize movement.
