We Run 313: The Pulse of Detroit's Run Club Book

We Run 313 is a run club and a revolution that reclaims space for Black runners in Detroit's outdoors with power, pride, and purpose. It is a personal mission turned movement for the culture. Like-minded people of all ages, abilities, and economic backgrounds gather to fuel the city's renaissance—from the east side to the west. The personal stories of this community reveal how running together fosters connection, healing, and physical and mental well-being. Once strangers, these friends now support each other in times of difficulty as well as celebration, provide job leads, witness marriages, and volunteer together. The club's joyful resistance re-envisions the relationship between Detroiters and their city for a brighter future for all.
