We’re thrilled to be partnering with athlete, activist, and author Alison Mariella Desir on Sunday, October 9th for a community run and reading from her to-be-released book Running While Black. 

The run/walk will launch at 9am from Mill City Running with 2 mile and 4 mile route options and a variety of paces, accommodating runners of all speeds.

Following the run, Alison will read from Running While Black and attendees will have the opportunity to pre-order the book, which is available starting October 18th.  Five lucky runners will also walk away with a copy of Running While Black courtesy of Alison and Portfolio/Penguin Random House.
