SANKOFA DAY FREE MORNING RUN
SATURDAY, AUGUST 23 | 8 AM - 10 AM
The Sankofa Day Run: Let's Run. Chip. Walk. Together.
Start your day with movement and community at the official launch of Sankofa Square on August 23rd! Join Hill Run Club, alongside friends like Ultra Black, for a free morning run from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM, with pre-run warm-up and post-run cool down led by Unchained Athletics.
Founded by Allison Hill, Hill Run Club aims to deepen community connections through fitness and mindfulness. As a body positive, size inclusive, and culturally sensitive mindful running club, it provides a safe space for self-identifying Black Women runners of all levels.
Our friends at Ultra Black are committed to connecting the Black community to wellness resources and supporting holistic well-being. Together, we invite individuals of all backgrounds and fitness levels to walk, jog, or run. It’s not just about movement, but about community and reclaiming space together.
The word “Sankofa” comes from the Akan language of Ghana and means “to go back and get it,” reminding us that building forward includes remembering, restoring, and moving as one.
Join us for this empowering run and celebrate the vibrancy and cultural diversity of Toronto. Let’s embrace resilience, discipline, and coming together as a community.
