About the Diversity Series
Under Armour has teamed up with Canadian Running to produce the Under Armour Diversity Series — an exclusive feature content series designed to highlight and promote individuals and organizations that have demonstrated a commitment to grow the sport of running, support those who are underrepresented and help others. Over the next six months, the series will feature stories and podcasts highlighting these extraordinary Canadians making a difference in their communities and on the national running scene.
As part of the Under Armour Diversity Series give back program, Under Armour will make a $5,000 product donation to help support featured athletes, coaches and mentors; personal initiatives in their local communities. We look forward to featuring some of the most important people in the running / track & field communities across the country. Let's all continue to work hard and make running accessible for all.
