Frequently Asked Questions

We have served organizations with staff from 4 people to 4,000 employees. We serve locally, nationally, and internationally. Our line-up of groups served includes: nonprofits, businesses, schools, churches, ministries, and denominations.

This depends on factors like size of group, travel requirements, and the kind of event: workshop, keynote, retreat, webinar, PD series, etc. Some groups are looking for an event. Others want an initiative that includes follow up support. Some organizations desire a multi-year roll out. Prices begin at $500/$1,000.

Note: RHRW seeks to remove financial barriers, if your budget is tight. Let’s talk and explore creative options.

Run Hard. Rest Well. began in 1991 in the heart of a passionate, chronically over-extended church worker in Aurora, Illinois.

Despite growing up going to church, Brenda Jank (…Schewe at that point) was introduced to the idea of a strategic, weekly, hard stop to refuel and recharge. Life-as-she-knew-it was not instantaneously changed, but over a few years, a deep-seated transformation took root and became a gift in her life and the lives of others.

Brenda wrote and spoke on the topic for years for Run Hard. Rest Well. launched as a 501c3 in 2015. Brenda is married to a great guy named Tim and they enjoyed (mostly) living with five of the finest, feistiest kids ever assembled under one roof.

Success blossoms when we partner with visionary, think-out-side-the-box leaders who have a passion for mission advance and a commitment to positioning their people to thrive. Sparks fly.

We seek to partner with organizations to address the unrest and restlessness of our age with the good news of Restorative Wellness. Together, we ignite a passion for Restorative Wellness and inspire small, steady steps in the right direction by “keeping the conversation going” for a lifetime of good work, healthy relationships, and a joy that is contagious.

World class content. World class delivery. My team must experience this!

This is nothing I don’t already know, but now for the first time in my life, I am doing it! You have helped us create a “community commitment” and this changes everything.

-A School Psychologist – Ft. Wayne Community Schools (2024)

Run Hard. Rest Well. reminded me of my need, as a leader, to ask better questions of my team and provide content, questions, and conversation starters we needed to lay the foundation for building the culture we want to build.

-Tom Eggold – Pastor Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Ft. Wayne Indiana (2020)

One of the best bits of feedback that I’ve heard about your presentation is that they were disappointed that it wasn’t longer! What an awesome compliment from our staff who feel like they live at school most of the time. All of the feedback was immensely positive – everyone was engaged, refreshed, and trying to figure out how to put rest into practice at home and in the classroom…we will definitely be looking at Run the Race!

-Tina Dickens – Trinity Lutheran School in Wausau, WI (2023)

Run Hard. Rest Well. offers THE most solid and life-giving content on Restorative Wellness. While the popular buzz-word “well-being” can be elusive, the Run Hard. Rest Well. program gives substance and practical wisdom on how to incorporate rhythms of wellbeing into our regular routines. Additionally, I appreciate how the RHRW team works to customize their content, so that it is accessible to the variety of organizations that RHRW serves.
