Hi, I’m Jules! :) 

Back in 2019, I was blessed to co-found Emancipated Run Crew (ERC) alongside my sister Denise and running brother Trojan. After years of running at grassroots level, we’d all noticed something that needed to change — the serious lack of Black and Brown representation at running events and within running clubs. We wanted to create a safe, inclusive and supportive community where Black and Brown people could feel seen, welcomed and empowered to run free. And so, Emancipated Run Crew was born! 

Seven years later, ERC has grown into so much more than a running crew. We’re now a Community Interest Company, working to increase diversity in grassroots running, break down barriers to participation and create opportunities for people from communities that have historically been underrepresented in the sport. From our weekly community runs and women’s running and walking initiatives to campaigns, partnerships and community events, everything we do is about making running more accessible, inclusive and representative of the communities we serve. And now I’m heading to NEW YORK!
