ASHEVILLE BIPOC+LGBTQ+ALLY RUN CREW

A group of runners gathers in mixed positions of standing and squatting. There are about 50 smiling faces. Behind them are two shipping containers painted to look like the Ukraine Flag. A blue container is on top and a yellow one on the bottom. The foreground is a muddy gray parking lot with a puddle.

Inspired by Prolyfyck Run Crew out of Charlottesville, Virginia, in the summer of 2022, Erin started a safe space run club in Asheville. The group started with just a few people and grew to about 10 who met each Friday morning at a different location around Asheville. Over time, it became too good of a thing to keep to ourselves so we opened it up to the community. The first community run took place on February 25th, 2023 and there were about 55 people, runners and walkers, in attendance!
