More than a store | Renegade Running

“There was a bigger purpose beyond running that I discovered.” Victor Diaz started Renegade Running on a mission to get more people of color involved in running. He did so knowing his background and lived experiences made him the right person for the job. To ensure more stores like Renegade exist in the United States, the Running Industry Diversity Collation (RIDC) is launching RUN THE BLOCK, a new mentoring and grant and initiative dedicated to increasing ownership amongst Black, Indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC) within the running industry. Brooks is proud to be supporting RUN THE BLOCK through an initial seed investment. Submissions for grants open later this winter. To learn more, visit
