ABOUT US...
Emanicpated Run Crew (ERC) was set up in 2019 by sisters Denise and Julia Stephenson (@we_run_we_eat) and friend Trojan Gordon (@thebeardedrunner) who were determined to challenge the lack of diversity in grassroots running by creating a virtual space where black and brown runners can support and encourage each other whatever our running goal. We will help you to run your own race and in doing so encourage you to Run Free!
Join ERC on Heylo and stay motivated!
Emancipated Run Crew is a community for people with black and brown heritage, which exists to support and encourage black and brown people to get active. We aim to help people meet (and often exceed!) their running and movement objectives. It really helps when people join if we are able to share their story so far and what they they are hoping to achieve by joining.
ERC has recently moved to Heylo where we update our community activities.
