Native women are resilient and strong!
And we heal and grow by sharing our stories of triumph with each other.
NWR has become a place of community, inspiration, motivation, and visibility.
“I started Native Women Running (NWR) out of frustration. One day, I was scrolling through Instagram and noticed a lack of Native women runners. When I realized many runners don't look like me, I
decided to start NWR. My desire is for representation of native women runners in the running world. My hope is for native women to find belonging here. I hope NWR can be a place of positivity and encouragement for fellow sisters.” —Verna Volker, founder of NWR
