Since 2009, Black Girls RUN! (BGR!) has encouraged Black women to make fitness and healthy living a priority. Through the power of running, community and empowerment, we bring awareness to the health disparities in the Black community. We dispel the myths that Black women are unhealthy and not physically active. Black Girls RUN! brings women together all over the country to increase representation on the pavement. We are moving and motivating women to change the narrative of what running and health and health looks like for Black women. We provide inspiration and serve as a resource for women to become the best version of themselves. Black Girls RUN! wants to create healthier communities to change the health statistics for Black women and make us healthier for generations to come. Join the movement at www.blackgirlsrun.com.
Gifts to the BGR! Foundation directly support BGR! participants as they pursue their goals for a healthier lifestyle. From running shoes to registrations, BGR! Foundation helps remove barriers that impact the African American community.
