Soul Trak Outdoors is a D.C. based nonprofit organization that connects communities of color to outdoor spaces while building a coalition of diverse outdoor leaders. Soul Trak Outdoors has created a variety of programming to serve hands-on, experiential programming. Soul Trak Outdoors vision is to act as a bridge to wild spaces by uplifting outdoor leaders of diverse backgrounds and create an outdoors that reflects the diversity of our nation. Soul Trak Outdoors mission is to build diverse cohorts of outdoor leaders, build inclusive outdoor communities for underrepresented groups and use outdoor adventures as a catalyst for creating new stewards of public lands.

The above information is what you will easily find on Soul Trak’s website and I am proud to say, I am one of the board members of this incredible organization, founded and led by Tyrhee Moore. I came across this organization two years ago when I was looking for a local 5K to do in D.C. I remember this event because it was small but powerful. You could tell it was community-oriented and everyone involved was super friendly. I love watching people put events together, seeing the volunteers help others, and see the joy that being outside and running brings to people. Soul Trak Outdoors brought me a community I didn’t know that I needed. I love being around people who think outside the box and see the bigger picture when helping others and that’s what Tyhree and his team have built.

Please check out Soul Trak Outdoors event on May 9th at Anacostia Park in Washington D.C. starting at 7:00AM. There is a running challenge that starts April 1st leading up to the event. The running challenge consists of 5 people on a team and whenever you walk, run, or bike, you can log in your miles. Whichever team collects the most miles, wins a grand prize at the event! This is a fun event and a great place to meet some incredible young leaders and people from all walks of life sharing the same goal, raising funds to create a space for people of color who may have the resources or access to experience and appreciate the outdoors, from running, climbing, canoeing, and skiing. Let’s bring the outdoors to them! REGISTER HERE.
