Join the local Bay Area chapter of Black Men Run as they tour all 11 Bay Area REI store locations in 2024! Each month the local BMR crew will meet a different REI location within the Bay Area. All levels welcome! At BMR they believe that running/jogging can change these alarming trends and they are here to encourage African American males to get out and be active. Research states that running on a regular basis not only benefits individuals from a physical standpoint but also increase mental sharpness. Studies show that running on a regular basis helps to boost your confidence, relieves stress and eliminates depression.
