Your home for best-in-class storytelling from the roads, trails, track, and beyond. By the Editors of RUN
Beyond racing news and analysis from the roads, trails, and track, RUN brings you training content from world-class experts, rigorously-tested gear reviews, the latest in running health and nutrition (with a special emphasis on women’s health and their journey through sport), and stories that move you deeply—or at least enough to head out the door.
At the forefront of all of our work is an emphasis on equitable gender and inclusive coverage to reflect
and further an expanding and diversifying global running community.

What We're Reading Right Now
Twelve young athletes are changing the world, here to defy the odds and show that nothing is impossible. Only 43% of inner city youth complete the weekly recommendation of physical activity. This is reflected in the sport of trail running, which is still essentially the domain of middle-class white men. By 2027, the Alpine Run Project with John McAvoy, Nike, JD Sports, and YBB will help 100,000 young people from diverse backgrounds in cities across Europe participate in trail running. By doing so this year, these 12 runners are part of a movement that will change the face of sport. This documentary captures their emotive and powerful journey to inspire change, from city streets to the epic alpine trail race at UTMB.

Alexandria Williams first attempted the Boston Marathon in 2018 but succumbed to the awful weather that day, like so many other runners. She tried again in 2022 and missed the cut-off by two minutes. In 2023, she is back for a third attempt, and this time it will also be the day she earns the Abbott World Marathon Majors Six Star Medal. As a proud member of the black running community, Alex works tirelessly to champion black runners in Boston and at all the Majors. This is the story of a woman who fell in love with the marathon and the power of the community she found there.
