In 2021, Victoria Lo founded Chinatown Runners in New York. An alternative take on what a social run experience can be, she helps runners experience a new side of a city they already call home.
Reading Running Sucks and about people like Victoria helps keep me balanced from despair these days. To be simplistic, there are terrible elements of human nature, but there are always ALWAYS people actively living the best idealistic parts of being human, too. Not sure how you find all of these fascinating people, Raz, but thank you!
That's exactly why I do it, and probably how I find them. I firmly believe that the more you think about what you want, the easier it is to find/get that thing. Some call it manifesting, I call it giving yourself time to solve a problem.

Agreed!
361% increase in anti-Asian hate crimes! Wow. All the power in the world to Victoria for finding ways to take this kind of prejudice on.
Love stories like this of community gathering and knowing the community around CAN do better! Way to be an example Chinatown Runners
Well done 👏
