On June 19th, 2020, Peace Runners 773 Founder and President, Jackie Hoffman decided to organize a 5K within the Garfield Park community. A week later, over 20 participants gathered for a peaceful, fun morning of movement. To Jackie, this 5K uncovered a collective interest among residents for something that Garfield Park was missing: a safe and inclusive place to workout. With this goal in mind, Peace Runners 773 was born.

Peace Runners 773 is a non-profit organization that advocates for health equity. Our programming empowers, educates and brings awareness to holistic health and wellness through physical, mental and social wellbeing while creating safe spaces for movement in our underserved communities.
