Welcome to the RIDC

The RIDC is an educational nonprofit with a mission that extends beyond running—we’re dedicated to driving transformative change across the running and outdoor industries. By partnering with brands, race events, retailers, run clubs, and outdoor organizations, we work to create meaningful advancements for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.

RIDC continues to be an important force in the industry and for On. The evolution of resources for the industry and the communities we aim to serve has been the best representation of what can happen when we put our minds together to find a common mission - making running and outdoor spaces more diverse and inclusive. RIDC makes us feel the importance of accountability - to our entire industry and to the millions of people that we want to inspire to move.
— Britt Olsen, Chief Commerical Officer at On.
