The BibRave Podcast Episode 213: How Can We Welcome More Black Runners?

Hey there, BibRave peeps! 🧡

On this week’s episode of The BibRave Podcast, Tim and Jess are talking with Tony Reed, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the National Black Marathoners Association.

Tony’s story is a fascinating one, and he tells Tim and Jess about all the great work organizations like the NBMA are doing to grow the number of Black runners in our sport. They discuss some of Tony’s inspiration behind starting the NBMA, along with some of the challenges he’s experienced on the road to growing the group to more than 16,000 members.  

We really loved this conversation with Tony, and we’re proud to highlight such a shining and inspiring leader in our sport!
