Indigenous Woman Builds, Uplifts a Community of Runners

In 2018, Verna Volker created an online community, Native Women Running, to highlight and encourage native women runners. Native Women Running is one of our training partners, and we are delighted to see Verna’s work getting the recognition it deserves in Women’s Running magazine. Congratulations Verna!

Runner safety is important to Volker. She recently partnered with Roar Training to offer a virtual workshop on running safety for Native Women Running members. She’s also worked with the company Go Guarded, which makes self-defense products, to offer a discount for members.
