About us

Hey, beautiful souls! I'm Melanie, the driving force behind Black Runners of the GTA (BRGTA).

 

What began as a love affair with running has blossomed into a movement centered on inclusion. Established in 2020, our community is a vibrant virtual tapestry of diversity and resilience.

 

I'm more than a runner; I'm a catalyst for change.

 

Beyond the finish line, I proudly serve as a Community Ambassador for Canada Running Series, the Toronto Pride & Remembrance Run, and as a race planning partner for the Scarborough 5K.

 

It's all about giving back and ensuring every step makes a difference.

 

At BRGTA, we hold space for our community of runners through a platform that sees, hears, and celebrates.
