One of the most exciting things happening in running these days is that we see more and more diversity in the sport. And that’s a beautiful thing.

Look around at the starting line of an event… take a run on a local greenway… and you’ll see more and more people that look like the melting pot that is our community. 

And, more and more of these under-represented runners are showing their peers that they, too, have a place in the larger running community. 

Our next guest on The Running Around Charlotte Podcast is one of those runners who’s helping runners like herself see they belong. Verna Volker is founder of Native Women Running, and is our guest on The Running Around Charlotte Podcast.
