At Black Men Run we believe that running/ jogging can change these alarming trends, and we are here to encourage African American males to get out and be active. Research tells us that running on a regular basis not only benefits individuals from a physical standpoint, but it also increases mental sharpness. Studies show that running on a regular basis helps to boost your confidence, relieves stress, and eliminates depression.
This is why we say that we are not a running club, we are a network of influence and impact. We have 10+ years of changing lives from one man to the next. We are a safe space for men. Here you will find encouragement, motivation, and camaraderie, Basically, a healthy brotherhood. There are currently 50 chapters in cities worldwide. This all started right here in Atlanta, Georgia in July 2013. The movement continues!
Mark Monroe is an Atlanta Chapter Captain of Black Men Run, UltraMarathoner, and a RRCA Certified Run Coach.
