Running is supposed to be a universally enjoyed way of moving around outside. Unfortunately, freedom of movement has historically not been afforded to Black people, so every time a Black person runs, they are participating in a revolutionary act. This episode looks at the realities that Black runners face in terms of finding representation, finding a sense of community, as well as looking at the importance of allyship. Ultimately, anti-racism education and work is up to you. If you cherish the freedom, beauty and humanity of the right to exercise free of brutality and death, you should advocate for the inclusion of Black runners in all spaces and commit to amplifying their voices because no one is free until we're all free. So, tune into this conversation to better understand the significance of taking that step forward in the right direction.
