Bonding Runs
Not a race. A shared passage.
Bonding Runs were born from a simple realisation:
some of the most important connections in our lives don't deepen on their own.
Bonding Runs unfold across extraordinary landscapes, from the Swiss Alps to Nordic countries, Japan, New Zealand, and Canada. While the settings change, the intention remains the same.
When people slow down, move together, and step away from daily noise, something shifts.
Conversations soften.
Attention widens.
Bonds strengthen, naturally.
Bonding Runs are guided journeys built around shared movement. Not to test endurance or push limits, but to create space, for presence, reflection, and reconnection with the people who matter most.
Each journey is shaped by its setting. Mountains, forests, long light, open trails. Some days invite gentle running, some walking, and many pauses in between. The pace adapts to people, not the other way around.
There is no pressure to perform.
No expectation to keep up.
This isn't about where you go.
It's about who you're with, including yourself.

Bonding Runs began on 5 January 2020.
On what would have been his mother's first birthday after her passing, Dr. Rajat Chauhan created something simple: Walk With Your Parents.
On a cold January morning nearly 500 grandparents, parents, and children gathered, not for fitness, but to be present with the people who mattered most.
That day taught one thing clearly: relationships, like bodies, need movement, before stiffness sets in.
In April 2025, Dr. Rajat and his son Harsheath (24) experienced this again on a shared retreat in the Swiss Alps.
Short distances. No agenda. Just movement, quiet, and presence.
They knew this was something many people would benefit from.
That insight became Bonding Runs.

Movement
Some days you run. Some days you walk. Some days you do both. There will be moments you move side by side as a pair, moments you move as a family, and moments you move quietly by yourself. Because bonding isn't only outward, it is also inward.
Stillness
The journeys are intentionally designed so pace never becomes a divider. Routes are forgiving. Distances are flexible. Pauses are part of the plan. The landscape sets the tone, and the group adapts together.
Connection
You don't need to be fast. You don't need to already run. This is not about keeping up. It's about staying connected, to others, and to yourself.
You don't need to be fast. You don't even need to be running yet.
If you don't currently run, we're happy to support you beforehand so that when you arrive, movement feels joyful, not intimidating.
Bonding Runs unfold in different landscapes through the year.
If this resonates but the timing isn't right right now, you're welcome to stay connected and hear about future journeys, quietly, without pressure.
We share reflections, upcoming journeys, and moments from the trail.
