A UNIQUE COLLABORATION

 

GumboFit (powered by Nike Running) is cultivating a unique community that thoughtfully bridges the worlds of underrepresented populations and the fitness mainstream through a diversity of programming and content curation. GumboFit prioritizes the coalescing of Black and Brown fitness and wellness enthusiasts across Chicago to start, with a particular focus on South and West-side communities. That said, all bodies, identities, and communities are welcome to participate!
