(1/7) In 2010, we had the honor of signing one of the most vibrant young talents on the track: a senior from the University of Minnesota named Gabriele (โAndersonโ) Grunewald.
Weโre so proud of

Today, on the first anniversary of Gabe Grunewaldโs passing, weโd like to take this moment to share our tribute to her and her legacy of hope and bravery, which lives on in the
#BraveLikeGabe
Foundation. We invite you to join us in honoring her memory.
You never know who youโll meet on your daily run.
@gg_runs
met
@chipgaines
during her run through Central Park, and now sheโs coaching him for his first ever marathon. We can't wait to see what's to come from this dynamic duo.
The injustice we are witnessing is racism, and it needs to be called by its name.
Silence is no longer an option.
We donโt have all the answers, but our resolve is strong.
Today, we speak up and evaluate how to progress.
Next, we step toward the day we all run on equal ground.
