Vision.

We envision a future where every stride empowers, where inner city communities move freely, feel a deep sense of belonging, and thrive through the joy of running. Together we’re building an inclusive running culture that transforms lives, forges lasting connections, and inspires growth; one step, one story, one neighborhood at a time.

Mission.

To inspire and empower individuals of all abilities to experience the joy of running in a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive community.

Beyond the miles, Butta is a devoted “girl dad” to his 11-year-old daughter Ashton, who continues to be one of his greatest inspirations. He is also the co-founder of W.R.O.K. (We Raise Our Kids), an initiative focused on strengthening relationships between fathers, their families, and their communities through intentional engagement, mentorship, and support.

His work hasn’t gone unnoticed. He’s received numerous honors from organizations like Nike, Foot Locker, and the City of Los Angeles for his impact in pushing underrepresented communities forward, both literally and figuratively.

Through every stride, Butta is rewriting the narrative of what health, fatherhood, and community look like in South Central L.A. and beyond.
