Over the past four years, the Running Industry Diversity Coalition has driven awareness, conversations, and action in the running industry.
We know that achieving racial justice is a marathon, not a sprint, and we know that to affect real change we have to fully understand our starting line. As part of our five-year strategic plan, we partnered with Bentley University to produce quantitative and qualitative baseline measures for racial diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as it relates to running industry employment, accessibility, inclusion, and belonging. We are looking for progress, not perfection. Let’s get into the data!
