Renegade Running, founded by Victor Diaz, transcends a typical sneaker store by providing not only footwear and apparel but also a gym, treadmills, and even professional physical therapy services. Central to the store's mission is a weekly running club aimed at fostering inclusivity among diverse runners in Oakland. This initiative is a political act of community organization, ensuring that all runners—from beginners to seasoned marathoners—have a place to belong and grow together. The community focuses on support and personal development without fear of judgment, exemplifying the ethos of a safe and welcoming environment for runners of all levels.
The workouts are carefully planned, building week by week to encourage growth and consistency.
It's a safe place where you can learn, grow and fail without a single drop of judgment.
One of the gems of this community is that it's for all runners.
The diversity in Oakland was not being represented in the activities that were happening.
