ABOUT

The Witness: Black Christian Collective is a multimedia platform that seeks to educate, encourage, and empower Black Christians. The Witness Foundation is a philanthropic, racial-justice-focused organization that works to identify, train, and fund Black Christian leaders. Both are divisions of The Witness Inc, founded by author, historian, and New York Times bestseller, Jemar Tisby. The divisions are led by Tyler Burns and Shannon Polk.

We are running because the race of racial justice is never complete. Join us throughout September to receive customized weekly devotionals and be encouraged in our online community. Visit all of the Witness Inc. channels below to see if your active photo will be featured!

Laps on a track
Treadmill for Run/Walk
MapMyRun.com
Find a Certified USATF Course
Some run/walk events display course maps at elitefeats.com
Many parks have measured 'fitness' trails open to the public
