About UrC
Our Mission
At Urban Run Club, our mission is to promote health, wellness, and community engagement through the joy of running. We strive to create an inclusive and supportive environment where runners of all levels can achieve their personal fitness goals, build lasting friendships, and contribute to the well-being of our community.
Our Vision
Through weekly group runs, culturally tailored events, educational programs, and charitable initiatives, we aim to address health disparities, inspire a lifelong love of running, and foster a commitment to an active lifestyle. We are dedicated to celebrating our community's excellence, culture, and heritage while empowering individuals to lead healthier lives.
Our Founder
Lay Seaton, the visionary behind Urban Run Club, founded the club out of a personal desire to find a supportive and inclusive running community. Driven by a commitment to health, wellness, and community, Lay established the club to not only provide a platform for physical activity but also to celebrate Black culture and foster lasting connections.
