IMPACT

“I didn't realize how much it means to me to be within a group of Black women until I show up every week. Being with these ladies makes me feel seen & confident to take up space.”

-Aiyana Marshall - Class of 2024 Marathon Finisher

“HRC has given me a sisterhood and has wrapped me up in supportive energy while at times it felt the world around me was crumbling. These women went from being complete strangers to being my cheerleaders, strategic advisors and friends in movement. It is more than the sum of its parts — it is magic.”

-Fana Sefie - HRC Run Lead - 10K Finisher

“HRC Saturday mornings are a soft place to land, reset and gas up, before heading in to the other parts of our lives. ... when I reflect, I'm really here because I am HRC and HRC is a part of me.”

-Joanne Brathwaite - Class of 2023 Marathon Finisher

A note from our founder

Hi, I’m Allison Hill.

Five years ago, we launched Hill Run Club with the goal of connecting more deeply with our community through fitness and mindfulness.

When I first started running, my mind was consumed with self-doubt. But as I kept pushing myself, I built a deeper relationship with who I am. Since then, I’ve crossed finish lines I knew were possible—and some I never could have imagined. Running has transformed my life.

Now, I work diligently to make running more accessible for Black women. We designed this club not around distance or pace, but around you.

So, I’m inviting you to tap into the abundance of self-love and community—to unlock the power within yourself.

Season 5 is going to be our best year yet! This is your sign to lace up your running shoes and join us.

See you on road,
Allison Hill
