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

By Lynzee Mychael Slappey, Lance Woods, Joe Robinson

Connect. Run. Build. The heart and soul behind Detroit's premier run club.

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.
