We are proud to announce the formation of the Running Industry Diversity Coalition (RIDC), a new, national coalition of running brands, running retailers, and runners representing Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC), brought together through our love of running and dedicated to ending the existing systemic racism in the running industry and running community.
