Renegade: More than running.
Renegade Running was built on the dream of a diverse running community that reflects the revolutionary spirit of Oakland, our hometown. We have created space for runners of all backgrounds and abilities and do our best to ensure everyone feels welcomed and supported.
As we grow, we are learning that while running is one common thread we all share, our power lies in the admiration and acknowledgment of who we are outside of running.
You, our community, are change-makers, parents, educators, healers. You are leading and grinding with hope in your own communities, your professional fields, your campuses, hospitals, and families. You… are renegades.
A renegade is motivated first and foremost by love and the belief that change is both needed and possible. And this motivation goes far beyond running. It is also the energy that pushes us to reflect on how we can make our tent bigger, make our connections deeper, and make our work more impactful.
For our next chapter, we will drop the word Running from our name as we work toward building bridges and making spaces for people that may not see themselves as runners. So, if you walk, cycle, hike, meditate, practice yoga, organize, teach, make art, or care for other people’s children, then you are a renegade and you belong here.
Running will always be at the foundation of what we do. And, we are poised to do so much more in the sport and in our communities, together.
Thank you Some Days for the brand reset.
