Let’s build community.

The Running Industry Diversity Coalition presented Know To Run: Yatika, Hosted by Jordan Marie Whetstone (Rising Hearts), on October 3, 2023 at 3:30pm EST. It was such a great turnout, with great questions and hopefully, a new perspective for non-Indigenous participants! This is how change happens, even if it is little by little!

Here is the recording below, what to expect:
1. Watch KNOW TO RUN: YATIKA
2. Then view the RIDC recording of the discussion!
3. Learn about land acknowledgements, their importance, and what it means to go beyond
4. Understand the necessity of including local Indigenous communities in conversations on making the running and outdoor community a more accessible and equitable place, and what the consultation process looks like

Continuing the Conversation!
Watch the Trail Runner and Rising Hearts  panel discussion about the past, present and future contributions of Indigenous peoples to trail running.

The discussion will include Verna Volker, Dinée Dorame, Guarina Lopez, Jordan Marie Daniel and Dustin Martin. We will dissect and discuss harms caused by erasing the Indigenous foundations of trail running, and highlight the many ways that Indigenous athletes have changed and continue to lead the sport. The event will also spotlight specific ways runners can decolonize trail running.

Indigenous Peoples are still here. And thriving. Join us for a conversation that is sure to challenge, educate, and inspire.
