The purpose of Black People Run, Bike, and Swim is to support and develop programs, policies, projects, initiatives, and academic research that responds to critical health inequities and disparities.

 

BPRBS has partnered with foundations, colleges, universities, and corporations such as the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Alabama Power, and The Caring Foundation of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama to build healthier communities.   

 

The African American community has a particularly high health risk due to poor fitness and debilitating health disparities. That's why Black People Run, Bike, and Swim has made it our mission to promote, network, and perform in the activities and events of running, biking, and swimming. We commit to being accountable to ourselves as runners, cyclists, and swimmers and to take our fitness performance to the next level.
