How Inclusive Run Clubs Are Changing the Culture of Running via POPSUGAR "Kiera Smalls, executive director of The Running Industry Diversity Coalition (RIDC), emphasizes the importance of community-centered approaches. From Strides, formerly City Fit Girls, in Philadelphia to the nationwide presence of Black Girls RUN!, these organizations are rewriting the narrative around who is a runner and what a runner looks like."
Help Revive Last Lap Cornerstore "After 2.5 years of operating out of a converted 50ft shipping container inside Boxville in the historic Bronzeville neighborhood, I learned this model wasn't sustainable. I started with a very modest start up budget consisting of what I had in my bank account. Our shop was too small, off the beaten path, and not in a place where we could capitalize on the daily needed foot traffic. I know Last Lap can thrive. So the day I closed my doors. I made a promise that Last Lap Cornerstone would come back and continue to serve the community because as our motto says, We Run With You."
