Declaring Black Lives Matter, ERC formed its Inclusion & Anti-Racism Committee in 2020 after Ahmaud Arbury’s murder while on a run and many other cases of racial violence and overt manifestations of white supremacy. The committee works to advance inclusion (race, gender, sexual orientation, pace, age, abilities, economic status, etc.) in our club; promote a welcoming and safe space within ERC for all to benefit from the sport of running; and make personal connections with all members, guests, and others for a positive change in our diverse club and our community via inclusion and anti-racism learning, dialogue, programming and action.
