Runners on a trail

Champion the run for all

Until we all run on equal ground

The shoes and gear we develop, the experiences we create, and the partnerships we build should contribute to a more inclusive and accessible running community.

Running man

Diversity, equity, and inclusion

We believe in the power of a diverse running community that includes people of different races/ethnicities, national origins, abilities, genders, ages, sexual orientations, body types, and circumstances. We are pursuing practices that will achieve equity in our business — so everyone feels a sense of belonging as their own, authentic selves.

  • Maintain our Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s “Corporate Equality Index” score of 100 / 100

Community impact

The run can do more than improve health — it can improve well-being. We hope to create this positive change by listening to and engaging with runners in their communities.
