To Every Black Woman Putting in the Work—This Space is Yours.

We create community, tools, and experiences that meet Black women where we are—and reflect how we actually live. From the barriers we face to the power we carry, our wellness journeys deserve to be seen, supported, and celebrated.

Our Story

RUNGRL began with a question: If Black women are showing up, why aren’t we being seen?

We were showing up for long runs, chasing finish lines, and grinding toward our goals—but when it came to races, media, and brand campaigns, Black women were barely visible. We knew that wasn’t the full picture. So in 2018, we built what we couldn’t find: a space to center Black women in running and wellness.

RUNGRL is our space to reclaim wellness not as a trend, but as a birthright. A space to be seen, supported, and celebrated—for all that we are, and all that we’re becoming.

  • Empowerment

    Through resources, representation, and connection, we inspire women to take control of their wellness and move unapologetically in their truth.

  • Community

    By fostering sisterhood and shared experiences, we create spaces where Black women feel supported, understood, and valued to perform at their best.

    We challenge traditional narratives to celebrate the many faces of Black women in wellness. Our advocacy amplifies voices that deserve to be heard and seen.

  • Innovation

    We develop resources and partnerships to reimagine wellness for Black women. Through creativity and bold ideas, we’re transforming how wellness looks and feels for our community.

    Wellness is not one-size-fits-all. We prioritize harmony by balancing ambition with self-care, and physical health with emotional and mental well-being.
