Why RUNGRL
ABOUT | WHY RUNGRL | FOUNDERS | CONTRIBUTORS
A note from the founders:
The need for authenticity, community and resources is now more important than ever since Black women (and their families) are suffering from health disparities at alarming rates in the U.S. Yet, despite this need, and a growing desire from this growing community to connect, there is a gap in the narrative of what it means to be a runner.
So, we’re changing it.
RUNGRL is a wellness brand connecting Black women to the resources, information and inspiration needed to impact wellness in our communities. Our aim is to provide unparalleled channels, insights, products and recommendations, so that any Black woman who wants to be well has the resources needed to start the journey, and any company that wishes to engage this community can understand how to do so, authentically.
Through digital media, events, and partnerships, we’re investing in those historically underrepresented and leading the charge to transform the running and fitness landscape into a more inclusive and accessible space and to change what it means (and looks like) to be a runner.
our promise is to create:
Information: We provide expert, trustworthy resources and products for everyone from beginners to pros, looking to support improving their wellness journeys as Black women.
Inspiration: We share authentic stories from our communities and partners that support the imperative that Black women deserve to live well.
Celebration: We celebrate the achievements and progress made by amazing Black women in wellness and fitness, from race day to rest day, both online and in real life.
Connection: We serve as a bridge between our diverse community of runners and wellness enthusiasts and our partners who want to authentically engage with them.
We are so happy to be on this journey with you. We’re here for you, we see you, and we celebrate you!
Yours in Miles and Magic,
Team RUNGRL
