Happy Black History Month!

This February, we celebrate the rich history of Roxbury and the Black pioneers who shaped our community. From historic landmarks to groundbreaking achievements in healthcare, education, and civil rights, Roxbury is a place where excellence and resilience thrive.

The Road to Wellness honors that legacy. When we take over these streets each year, we're not just running and walking for health—we celebrate the resilience, strength, and spirit of this community.

We’re still thinking back to an unforgettable race

We’re still thinking back to an unforgettable race day! 💙

Road to Wellness is about so much more than the miles; it’s about community, connection, and showing up for one another along the way.

Here’s how one of our 2025 Road to Wellness participants put it:

“It helps me feel like I am not alone on this wellness journey. It helps build a sense of community and connections, which are very important for me to thrive.”

We can’t wait to see our community back together soon!

Today, we celebrate White Cane Day—a time to recognize the white cane as more than a tool for mobility. It’s a symbol of health, independence, and empowerment for people who are blind or have low vision.

At the Road to Wellness, we honor the incredible blind and visually impaired runners and walkers who embody strength, balance, and resilience with every step. Whether walking with a cane, running with a guide, or navigating by sound and feel, these athletes remind us that wellness is for everyone—and that movement connects us all.

Ways to show support today and every day:
🚶‍♀️ Be mindful and share the road or trail
💬 Ask before offering assistance
❤️ Encourage movement and wellbeing for people of all abilities

Together, we celebrate health and wellness for all of those in our Road to Wellness family!

Want to learn how the Road to Wellness started? Hear the people and purpose behind Roxbury’s first 5K in this inspiring podcast by Lauryn Williams.

“We just did it. We just took over the streets. We didn't ask for permission, and we had 126 people run our first race…the more we wait, the more we ask for permission, the less likely we are going to be able to do it. And we need to show people that nobody can stop you from running in your community.” - Thaddeus Miles, Race Founder
