On July 26, 2023, The Venice Run Club made waves as hundreds of runners took to the Venice Beach Bike Path. This club's journey has been one of unity and impact since its inception in June 2020.
Two friends, Justin and Tyler, channeled their frustration over racial injustice into a 48-hour running challenge after George Floyd's passing. Their GoFundMe campaign supporting racial justice surpassed all expectations, leading to the birth of the nonprofit "48 For Change." Over $143,000 and 2,000lbs of clothing were donated to the LA community.
From this movement emerged the Venice Run Club, a tight-knit community where 400+ runners unite weekly. They've guided over 200 runners to complete their first marathon and became the first-ever sponsored run club by On in America.
Open to all, the club invites anyone to join their impactful runs. Together, they continue to build bridges and create positive change through running.
