" We Run 313 is more than a book about a running club; it's a portrait of Detroit's resilience and determination. Through poetic storytelling and evocative photography, it captures the discipline and passion of inner-city runners, as well as the equal discipline it takes to move through the streets of a city that is reimagining and rebuilding itself. This book stands as a tribute not only to the athletes who run but to a city that keeps rising, reminding us that resilience, connection, and imagination can carry both people and places farther than they ever thought possible."?Shaka Senghor, resilience expert and author of How To Be Free: A Proven Guide to Escaping Life's Hidden Prisons "Lance and Joe's work with We Run 313 has energized Detroit and inspired runners across the country. Their story shows how passion, community, and steady commitment can create meaningful change and leave a lasting impact."?Dr. Michael Clemons, director of operations, Running USA "Meeting We Run 313 cofounder Lance Woods at Hood to Coast in 2021 was the beginning of an inspiring journey.
