Brooks Running Renews Long-Term Commitment to RIDC Through 2031

The Running Industry Diversity Coalition (RIDC) is proud to share that Brooks Running has renewed its annual financial commitment to RIDC for an additional five years, extending the partnership through 2031.

When RIDC launched, Brooks was one of our earliest partners, making a rare five-year commitment at a time when most corporate partnerships are structured year to year. That initial investment helped lay the foundation for our work to expand access to running, build employment pathways, and shift the culture of the running industry.

This renewed five-year commitment reflects more than continuity. It signals trust, shared values, and confidence in the impact we have built together over the past decade. Long-term partnerships like this allow RIDC to plan with intention, invest deeply in programs, and remain accountable to the communities we serve.

Brooks’ continued support underscores a sustained commitment to equity, representation, and long-term change in the running industry. As RIDC enters its next chapter, partnerships of this depth make it possible to move beyond short-term wins and focus on durable, systems-level progress.

We are grateful to Brooks Running for standing with RIDC since day one and for reaffirming their belief in the work ahead.
