“I run for a purpose now, and that purpose has continued to evolve over the years.”Jay Tinsley wasn't always a runner but the sport certainly stuck with him once he embraced it. The sense of community that followed is what has kept Jay around, and all he wants to do is share that with others. As a leader of Black Men Run Trail and Ultra Running Fanatics (TURF), Jay's mission is to bridge the gap between the road and trail running communities, encouraging others to embrace the joys of trails. His efforts to introduce trail running to more members of BMR reflect his belief in fostering connection and adventure: “How can I get the rest of my guys, who pretty much stick to the roads, to feel that sense of community in the trail world as well?”Jay creates many events and opportunities through BMRTURF (he runs the Phoenix chapter) to get off the roads and onto the trails. Even though his community is strong and supportive, he still worries from time to time that people aren't hearing his message. "I have irrational anxiety that no one will show up," Jay joked, only to note that his community "always shows up."I had such a great time chatting with Jay. It's clear he's supportive and passionate about this sport, and wants to get as many others involved as he can. I love that attitude and can't wait to see where Black Men Run Trails and Ultra Running Fanatics go from here.Trail Running Film Festival Contest!With early bird tickets now on sale and excitement growing for our 2025 tour dates, we thought it would be the perfect time for a ticket giveaway.

If you think you can't accomplish a lot of change and challenge yourself to achieve new goals in a short amount of time, then you'll benefit from listening to this chat with Diarra Cropper. I've gotten to know the ever-enthusiastic Diarra through the Black Men Run community.  Black Men Run is a dynamic nationwide organization that is a movement that encourages Black men to be active to reverse health risks like hypertension, diabetes, stroke, and mental depression that disproportionally affect this population. The organization conducts meetups to bring local chapters together and organizes to connect at races throughout the country. I began running with the Denver chapter three years ago and have developed many great friendships. With awesome leadership, the Denver chapter has been one of the fastest-growing in the country. Diarra, like many African-American male track athletes, gravitated toward the power events like sprints. And why not? If you turned on a marathon on TV, the only Black runners you saw were Kenyans and Ethiopians, almost no Americans. Black runners were virtually absent from ultramarathons. When Diarra moved to Colorado Springs, it opened up a whole new world of trail running to him. Within a couple of short years, Diarra is now crushing trail ultras and through an almost-random encounter at the Leadville Trail 100, has recently gotten sponsored by Speedland. He's become a leader as well of the BMR sub-chapter in Colorado Springs. What's been super cool is that there are others in Black Men Run running ultras, and during our group runs it's exciting hearing the chatter about ultrarunning. The tide is definitely turning, too, as you see more Black runners at marathons and ultramarathons, and you are beginning to see lots more women and runners of other colors out there as well. I have no doubt that Diarra, with his passion and drive, is headed toward becoming a major force in the ultrarunning scene. Before we jump in, I'd encourage you to go to blackmenrun.com to find a local chapter. I got involved after the insane killing of Ahmaud Arberry, which woke me up to the fact that it is markedly less safe for a Black man to simply go for a run anywhere he wants unlike a white guy like me can. I've never regretted finding this really positive group to run with.Diarra CropperInstagram and Threads @co_trilete25Bill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram @stahlor and @coachstahlYouTube We Are Superman Podcast

Episiode 141 Featuring Black Men Run Co-Founder Edward Walton by

Boston is known as a runner's city. But last month, running groups with predominantly Black membership, including Pioneers Run Crew and TrailblazHers, reported being targeted by police while spectating the Boston Marathon. In light of this event, and as the weather warms up and brings runners outside, Jeff Davis, founder of another running group for Black runners, Black Men Run Boston, joins The Common. Black Men Run Boston is the local chapter of the national Black Men Run organization, which aims to create a safe and health-centered space for Black men to run and walk in community. Today, Jeff Davis shares his experience running while Black in Boston, and discusses what he believes can be done to make running more inclusive in the city.

James Jones, Lawrence Harrington and George Morse are representing Philly locally and nationally. First up, Harrington and Morse, both captains of the local Black Men Run chapter, explain the ins and outs of one of Philly's favorite running clubs which has been making its mark on the streets and communities of Philadelphia for over a decade. However, their mission goes beyond running, taking their core values of Brotherhood, Unity, and Health into the communities they run through. Next up, Jones was planning events in Philly before becoming a contestant on CBS's Survivor season 43.

Shannon Booker, a living and breathing lighthouse, is on the show! Shannon came to running several years ago as a way of deal with internal demons and depression. He found success at a spontaneous 5k after having successful high school track career. After going all in on running he realized that he was merely running away from his problems which exasperated the situation. Shortly thereafter, Shannon moved to Atlanta and his approach to running and the running community completely changed. Instead of running for himself Shannon embraced the thriving Atlanta running community. Today, Shannon is a leader in his community and a true inspiration. He helped lead the ‘ATL Justice + Equality Run,' an 8.46-mile route around north Atlanta. The 8.46-miles represented the 8 minutes and 46 seconds a now-former Minneapolis police officer held his knee on George Floyd's neck, who later died. Shannon also helped start the Juneteenth run, the movement Social Fitness ATL, and works actively with Black Men Run.

I talk with southern Louisiana-based, former 400-pound guy-turned-distance runner, advocate for better health, and now crusader for Black people's rights, Josh LaJaunie.  Josh made a name for himself by losing 200 pounds, becoming plant-based, running marathons, and founding the Missing Chins group to support others navigating the same journey.  He has appeared on the Today Show, Good Morning America, the Rich Roll podcast, and numerous other shows and wrote an excellent guidebook toward healthier eating called “Sick to Fit.”  Along the way he also connected and formed a bond with David Clark and appeared on WASP episode #64, definitely worth a re-listen.  Josh has since re-focused his energy toward advocating for Black lives, and examining his own connection to racism in the world he grew up in with the good ol' boys in the bayou.  So we discuss Ahmaud Arbury, George Floyd, the racism he still sees in New Orleans, and the Black Men Run group which encourages health and wellness among African-American men and has chapters all over the country.  I hope you'll enjoy this conversation with this energetic dynamo for social change.Please contact Bill for more info about the We Are Superman Leadville Ten Warriors at silly_billy@msn.com, on Facebook, or Instagram @stahlorJosh LaJaunie:joshlajaunie.comFacebookInstagram @joshlajaunie"Sick to Fit" on AmazonBlack Men Run: blackmenrun.com and on Instagram @blackmenrun504th Run Crew on Instagram @the504th

Black Professional Woman Says Black Men Run Everywhere Else But To BLACK Women

In this episode, we meet a man who's making a difference running through his neighborhood and all across this great land. He's a member of Black Men Run group who is doing amazing things around the country. A group formed seven and a half years ago and is currently in 55 cities across the U.S. with now over 25,000 members. We're so happy to have him with us! He is Rafael Ortiz!

Death and danger are inexorable facts of summiting Mount Everest, but a longtime guide thinks a new system can help prevent one of the most common issues there: high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). Lukas Furtenbach, who has been running expeditions in the Himalayas since 2001 and founded Furtenbach Adventures in 2014, plans to implement a new pulse oximeter system on Everest during the 2021 season that, he claims, will make climbing the world’s tallest peak as safe as flying. (The odds of dying on Everest are about one in a hundred, compared to about one in five million in a plane crash.) Whether that is true or not remains to be seen. It’s no secret that there are very few Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) participants in the sport of trail running. Distance running, in general, is very white. Clubs like Black Men Run, Black Girls RUN! and Latinos Run have been trying to change that, though mostly on the road running side, by providing safe spaces for BIPOC runners — something that’s become paramount in recent months. But trail running? Endurance News Daily I’ve got 3 dream weeks for any athletics fan. I’m heading now to @LondonMarathon then @NNRunningTeam Valencia WR Day, then @WorldAthletics half marathon champs in Gdynia. Time to mask up and get stuck in.

In 2013, Black Men Run was founded by Jason Russell and Edward Walton to promote heart health in the African American community. It started in Atlanta, but now there are chapters all over the world. Terry Love is the captain of the Houston chapter of Black Men Run, and talks about how this all started, how COVID-19 has impacted it, and how the club has integrated social justice into what they do as well.

Co-Captain of Black Men Run Phoenix and national co-captain of Black Men Run, Rafael Ortiz, shares how he's helping to build a healthier community and his own running story. Plus, we discuss the BLM movement, and the Black Men Run virtual run events we can join to support!

“I think where the dialogue really happens is in a Black Men Run group chat that we have. Just think about what we’re all feeling when that situation happens with George Floyd or Ahmaud Arbery. It really gets to a point where we don’t feel OK. We’re not alright. We try to support each other as best as we can but the reality is our job as Black Men Run is to show our community what we can do as a unit through running and to be role models. When I joined and we started doing the hood runs, just seeing the power of people in those communities seeing us as a unit and sticking together, I can’t even put a value on that. It’s so grand. That’s where a lot of hope lies – in seeing Black men like ourselves stepping out there and choosing to stick together in a positive way. In Black Men Run, we have doctors, principals, lawyers, chiropractors, educators and the list goes on. It’s just a good place where not only are we connecting through running but we stay connected outside of that and work on various things. It wasn’t a big group when they started in New York City. They stuck with it. That to me and where we’re at now is more about how they built that. Now, how do I take what they built and figure out what I can build through the things I have talent in. They were really pivotal in being an example to me and the power of sticking together with something that has meaning. One thing I’m learning is: Everything I want to do has to have a purpose. I try to think of that purpose before I do it. I’m starting to speak up with a purpose. I want people to be more vulnerable. I want people to share their stories. I want them to let people know how they’re really feeling. I think for too long and in my workplace with certain friends that I have who are white, I’ve held back on having real conversations with them for a real long time. Do you know who that’s affecting the most? Me. Because I’m holding that inside. I can’t reach my full potential until I let all of this out. My biggest message to people is to encourage them to use their voice. We all have a story. Life is difficult. Whether you’re dealing with racism or some other trauma that maybe you’ve been dealing with since you were a kid, these stories need to be let out. I’d rather know the real you than the person you perceive to be. To me, that’s when we can brick by brick lay the foundation for a better future for our youth. They need to know some of the truth." Jason Fulford is a Gowanus, Brooklyn native. He is the coordinator of community programs for Community Roots Charter School. When he's not working, he's likely running as a member of Black Men Run and The Running Edge. He is also known as the cousin of Eric Garner, who died on July 17, 2014 when a New York City police officer tackled him and put him into a fatal chokehold. Garner's dying words – "I can't breathe" – helped galvanize the Black Lives Matter movement to protest racial injustice in America. Five years after Garner's death, Jason partnered with Overthrow NYC to host the Run for Justice in 2019. This year, the run is back and will be held on July 18. Hear about Jason's work as an activist, how running has been his therapy, his role as a father and educator during this important movement, his relationship with Eric Garner and what his hope is for the future.
