Empowering identity-based running community
About This Club
Black Girls RUN! Orlando is the local chapter of a national movement built specifically for African-American women who want to make running part of their life. It's set up to support both people just starting out and women who've been running for years, with an emphasis on health and community rather than racing or performance. If that describes you, this is a group built with you in mind.
Highlights
- Targeted at African-American women
- Part of national movement
- Encouragement and resources
- Community support
Who It Suits
This club is built for African-American women, and that includes both beginners and veteran runners looking for a community centered on health and encouragement. It's not set up as a walk-friendly group, and it's not the right fit for men or non-Black women, or for anyone hoping to bring a dog or a stroller along.

What a Run With Them Is Like
Runs happen on pavement, at various locations around Orlando, and the schedule varies day to day rather than following one fixed weekly slot. You'll find out where and when through the group's Facebook page and Google calendar rather than a printed schedule. The record doesn't specify pace groups or splits, so come ready to check the calendar before you head out.
Your First Run
Before you show up anywhere, join the Facebook group and check the Google calendar, that's how you'll find out where a run is actually happening and when. There's no membership fee and no sign-up required to participate, so the barrier to trying it once is low.
Because location and day change, your first move is really an online one: get into the group, find the next run on the calendar, then show up to that specific spot.
