In celebration of Black History Month, we'll be spending February exploring some of Raleigh's historical Black communities as well as uplifting our Black running family of employees, partners, and customers. Here's what you can look forward to this month: 
 

  • Get in a run and a bit of history: Our 3.1 mile Oberlin History Run outlines the racial changes from the thriving post-civil war Black community previously known as Oberlin Village to the present day Cameron Village. SIGN UP HERE!

  • Shop with us on Saturday, February 13 and Sunday, February 14 when we will be donating 10% of our sales to Forward Justice, a law, policy, and strategy center dedicated to advancing racial, social, and economic justice in the U.S. South.

  • Get to know the Raleigh chapter of Black Girls Run, our partners and friends, who provide encouragement, community, and the opportunity to improve your health through running.

  • Celebrate record-breaking Black runners both past and present.
