🏃‍♀️💪 This Women's History Month, we s

🏃‍♀️💪 This Women's History Month, we shine a spotlight on the trailblazing Black women in sports whose resilience and perseverance have shattered barriers and inspired generations. From Wilma Rudolph's legendary three gold medals in the 1960 Olympics to Venus and Serena Williams transforming tennis, these women have redefined the boundaries of what’s possible.

As we prepare for the Road to Wellness 5K Run/2-Mile Walk this September, let's honor the trailblazers who have paved the way, like Althea Gibson, who broke barriers in tennis, and Mo’ne Davis, who made history when she pitched in the Little League World Series.

Their stories remind us that every step we take toward wellness is built on the courage and determination of those who came before us.

Want to learn more about these incredible women? Read more: https://ow.ly/ZNRN50VnGyP

Let’s run, walk, and celebrate the legacy of women who changed the game. 🏅✨

The Road to Wellness 5K Run/2-Mile Walk was founde

The Road to Wellness 5K Run/2-Mile Walk was founded by activist, storyteller, and community leader, Thaddeus Miles.

In 2014, Thaddeus launched the HoodFit 5K because he saw an urgent need for a community-focused approach to wellness. The following year, he partnered with @TheDimockCenter and the @teambaa to bring the Road to Wellness to life—the first race of its kind in Roxbury—empowering community members to take manageable steps toward better health while celebrating the vibrant neighborhood.

Last year, the Road to Wellness celebrated its 10th anniversary, cementing Thaddeus’ legacy and impact in our community. When looking towards the future of this amazing event, Thaddeus said, “I'm hoping in 10 years, this community, this race, will ensure that our ancestors are still proud of who we are, that people will recognize that our ancestors are here with us, that this thriving community will be proud of what's happening in year 20.”

Thaddeus recently accepted the Congressman John Lewis Social Justice Award at The Dimock Center’s Annual Meeting. He has spent his career dedicated to advocacy, social justice, and fostering environments where joy, justice, and healing can thrive.

Congratulations Thaddeus, and thank you for your incredible leadership and inspiring vision for the future! 💙
