The article focuses on analysing the role of running in fostering the well-being of individuals belonging to the silver generation, defined as a social group that includes people over the age of 50. In the face of dynamic demographic changes and the growing proportion of seniors in the social structure, actions that support their physical and mental condition and social activity are gaining particular importance. The aim of the study, following a literature review and analysis of empirical research findings, was to answer the question of whether running helps secure the three key dimensions of well-being for runners in this group: physical, mental, and social.
