BGR! x REI Opt Outside 2024
Black Girls Run has partnered with REI for #OptOutside 2024 – a time to get outside and enjoy family and friends in the outdoors. REI has closed its doors on Black Friday since 2015 to choose time outside on the busiest in-store shopping day of the year. REI has committed to #OptOutside and BGR! groups across the country are joining them, and you can join too. The Black Girls Run groups will have food, giveaways, and much more!
