    Joe Robinson has a deep love for the city that raised him—Detroit, Michigan. When this love for his city met the joys he was finding through running, movement, and activation, he found a way he could help encourage others as they sought to become better versions of themselves. He then teamed up with Lance Woods and WeRun313 was born. As Joe mentions, WeRun313 is a social run club that connects like minded individuals through running to build a healthier happier community. Joe talks of the journey of doing more than building people into healthier lifestyles. He also sees an opportunity to help reshape the community and city he lives in.
