Today, we invite you to join us in celebrating Juneteenth, the anniversary of the date when some of the last enslaved people in Texas finally learned that they were free. This overdue news was more than two months after the end of the Civil War and two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation went into force. Though Black Americans have been celebrating it since 1865, Juneteenth finally became a federal holiday in 2021.

While Juneteenth is a day of celebration first, it is also a day of reflection for many of us - to take stock of the progress that we’ve made as a society but also to remember that systemic racism, racial injustice, and white supremacy are still with us today and must be dismantled. This is work that we recommit ourselves to today, as a predominantly white run club (so far), and that continues year-round.

We encourage you to learn more and support the following:

The is an excellent resource to learn about Juneteenth and African American history and culture.

Running While Black by is an eye-opening book about the inequities and exclusion experienced by Black runners in a sport that many claim to be “for everyone.”

A group actively working for more representation of BIPOC people in running is (LSRC is a running club member).

If you’re local to Grand Rapids, check out for information on Black-owned businesses, such as our friends at .

Looking for a great local race? Check out the 5K on June 28 and 5K on August 16.

We hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday and we look forward to running and walking with you next Tuesday!

Please join us for our After Dark event this month, a movie under the stars! Meet us at Studio Park Piazza (the public space in front of Studio Park, 123 Ionia Ave SW) on Saturday, June 28 for a free screening of La La Land.

The movie starts at 8 pm but we encourage you to show up early to grab dinner and/or snacks and to find a place on the lawn (bring your own blanket or chair).

Hope to see you there!

We'll be at .us at 6 am tomorrow, as always, for intros and info, a 3 mile run or 1.5 mile walk, return via cheer tunnel if you'd like, community announcements, and an optional extra 2 mile run. Enjoy a beverage (and maybe a treat) at HAS HEART and then the rest of your Tuesday!

Meet this week’s guest co-captain, Sarah!

Sarah started running cross country and track in middle school and it’s been a part of her life ever since. Although Sarah loves running: “what I love most about it is the people it’s allowed me to meet! I have gained lots of life long friends through running. I moved to Grand Rapids from Phoenix, AZ last year, and the running community here in GR has allowed me to meet so many great people (which keeps me coming back to LSRC every week!)”

Besides LSRC, Sarah volunteers on a weekly basis at Parkrun—which was where she heard about (thank you !)—as well as at , where she worked in college and has been involved ever since. Clearly, volunteering is very important to Sarah!

Some fun facts about Sarah:

- Used to work at a running store so she knows a lot about running gear!
- Not currently training for anything, mostly running for fun but is considering a 5k in the near future
- Besides running, Sarah also loves to stay active through walking, hiking, and pickleball

Thank you, Sarah, for guest leading this week—including sharing about yourself and anchoring the walk crew. And thank you for being a valued part of this community!

Y’all let’s give it up — like, or drop a hello or emoji below. See you on Tuesday, where you’ll cross paths other amazing Humans of LSRC, like Sarah 🖤

Meet Maia!🖤

If you’ve joined us on a Tuesday morning, you may have seen Maia’s welcoming smile—last Tuesday Maia helped us out with co-leading and today, we’re so excited to feature her: 
A few fun facts: – She started riding horses at age 7 and used to compete in dressage (and still takes lessons today!) – She’s part of the leadership team at parkrun, which helped her find her way into the GR running community—shoutout to Charles for the LSRC connection! – She grew up in the U.P. and loves spending summer days at her family’s cottage near Marquette

We’re grateful to have you, Maia. Thanks for leading with heart and helping us keep the Tuesday magic alive!!
