Community Impact

At Brooks, we believe that running is a positive force that has the power to change a day, a life, the world. Two major pillars provide the foundation for these efforts: our youth running platform, Future Run, and our Community Partners.

Community Impact

Our approach

We’re investing in youth running programs & teams and community partnerships to help the run reach as many people as possible.

Future Run Community Partners

Our targets

  • Dedicate more than $5 million per year in cash and gear to community impact programs 
  • Focus on partnerships that make the benefits of the run accessible to everyone

Meet our Community Partners

By joining forces with our partners, we amplify their mission and gain knowledge and insights about the communities they represent. Together, we hope to create a more diverse running community inclusive of all races/ethnicities, abilities, genders, ages, sexual orientations, body types and circumstances.
