Friendship Through Fitness 🏃🏾♂️💨 🤝🏾
Bro. Isaiah Jones has been running long distance since 2018. In the beginning, Bro. Jones wanted to challenge himself more physically, but somewhere along the way he caught the running bug.
However, since being diagnosed with epilepsy in 2023, running has become more than just exercise, miles, or finish lines. It became a reminder to keep pushing, to never take his health for granted and to continue challenging himself even when the journey isn’t easy.
Along the way, Bro. Jones has been able to find friendship through fitness and build stronger connections with members of the Divine Nine, Black runners, and other Black men both stateside and abroad. Different cities, different backgrounds, different letters — but a shared understanding of discipline, perseverance, and pushing past limitations.
To this day Isaiah’s journey has grown and he has goals he wants to achieve such as running a sub-3 hour marathon and making it to the Abbott World Marathon Majors Six Star Hall of Fame. Currently, Isaiah has 4 of the original 6 stars with Sydney being his 5th total.
The road continues for him on Sunday Nov. 1 for the 56th NYC Marathon, celebrating 50 years since the first five-borough course was introduced in 1976.
Still running. Still building. Still persevering. Still chasing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
