We Run 313: The Pulse of Detroit's Run Club

"We Run 313: The Pulse of Detroit's Run Club" by Lance Woods and Joe Robinson, With Lynzee Mychael Slappey, Introduction by Anwar Uhuru

Connect. Run. Build. The heart and soul behind Detroit's premier run club.

"We Run 313 - like the club it represents - is 'joyful, rhythmic, loud, Black, and proud,' a beautiful rendering of the power of possibility and solidarity in the running world and far beyond." - Kerry McHugh, Shelf Awareness

We Run 313 is a run club and a revolution that reclaims space for Black runners in Detroit's outdoors with power, pride, and purpose. It is a personal mission turned movement for the culture. Like-minded people of all ages, abilities, and economic backgrounds gather to fuel the city's renaissance—from the east side to the west. The personal stories of this community reveal how running together fosters connection, healing, and physical and mental well-being. Once strangers, these friends now support each other in times of difficulty as well as celebration, provide job leads, witness marriages, and volunteer together. The club's joyful resistance re-envisions the relationship between Detroiters and their city for a brighter future for all.
