Friendship Miles is a non-profit organization based in Grand Rapids, Michigan with an emphasis on slowing down our running community to amplify bigger systemic issues some folks face so all feel welcome without having to fit a certain mold. We encourage running together at a conversational pace to focus on connection and friendship. Our running and walking community excludes many folks that want to participate in free social movement, but feel as if they don’t belong so 'Friendship Miles' was born to encourage others who may not feel comfortable to approach social running with confidence.
The best ambassadors for change are in great numbers and Friendship Miles mission serves as a way to spark inspiration, educate, and empower so we can redefine running. Friendship Miles echoes inclusivity, connection, and empathy. You don't have to run to be involved, whether you run or walk every mile tells a story.
Your donation will go directly towards funding campaigns like Until, Every Runner Belongs, provide resources to our greater community in need such as: child care at running events, interpreters for our deaf runners, guides for our blind runners, mental health and therapy resources, financial wellness resources, race entries, coaching, giveaways, gear, & free education around nutrition, strength training, and physical therapy.
