GroupSee full details
Buena Tierra Run Club emerged from a simple revelation. After co-founder Patrick ran through Chicago's Latino Pilsen neighborhood, he knew Milwaukee needed a space where Latino runners could gather, celebrate, and reshape the health narrative in their community. Founded in November 2023, what started with seven people at a first run has grown into a movement of more than 250 runners. Now they gather regularly at Milwaukee's Zócalo Food Park, building a community bound by movement, pride, and the spirit of the Southside. Every run is free and open to all, a chance to inspire the next generation and rep Milwaukee in a way that truly speaks to you.
