About Us
Founded in 2017, PIONEERS Run Crew is Boston’s first Black and Brown-led running community. Our mission is to make running equitable and accessible to the BIPOC community in Boston. Our goal is to ensure EVERY RUNNER in PIONEERS Run Crew feels heard and seen.
Our WHY

EXPLORE
We build community connectedness. Rather than focusing on pace and speed, we create a social setting that encourages relationship-building during our weekly runs.

MOTIVATE
We run in Boston’'s historically Black neighborhoods to encourage exploration of the City’s rich history and normalize running in our communities.

INSPIRE
We root for runners on the margin - all faces, all paces. We believe running can help overcome physical and mental health disparities and promote holistic wellness.
