Tierra Libre Run

Founded in Portland in 2024, Tierra Libre Run began as a small run club among friends who wanted to see more representation on the trails. What started locally has grown into a movement: a community-driven nonprofit dedicated to advancing trail running through representation, mentorship, and access.

Through programs like the BIPOC Athlete Fund—which provides fully sponsored race entries—and community events that bring runners together, Tierra Libre Run creates pathways for athletes of color to thrive in trail running. By building community and breaking down barriers, they’re making space for more diverse voices, stories, and leaders on the trails.
