Latinos Run Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month with 5K Hybrid Event

Maria Solis Belizaire founded Latinos Run in 2016 in New York City. What began as a group run with 16 people grew into a national movement that serves over 25,000 people across the country today.

Solis Belizaire says that Latinos Run provides a safe space for the Latino community and keeps members motivated. Their biggest event of the year is the Hispanic Heritage Month 5K.

“This event helps bring people back to why they love running,” Solis Belizaire says. “It reminds them not just of their love of sport, but it also caters to our community and our culture. It’s an important time because of so many Latin American countries that celebrate their independence during this month.”

Maria Romera, a Latinos Run member, says she appreciates the opportunity to celebrate their differences while uniting as one.

"What I love about the Hispanic Heritage 5K is the celebration of diversity within the Hispanic culture," she says. "The richness of our different cultures yet the oneness we share."

A community experience

Latinos Run member Ruthie Williams says her favorite thing about the group is the way it brings the community together during times of success and hardship.

"Being a part of the Latinos Run community means having a network of individuals who can relate to our struggles and offer guidance and encouragement," she says. "It means having a platform to share our stories, celebrate our successes, and advocate for change."
