Creating Inclusive Spaces

Pride On Foot (POF) works with Run groups, Race Directors, and other fitness organizations that wish to become better inclusive of the LGBTQIA+ community, particularly regarding gender diversity. A full consultation involves a review of the organization’s current practices, events, and the culture of their group.  We can help you adopt pro-inclusion policies, and find new ways of interacting with your base. Together we can assist in any of these areas

  • Admin & Leadership structure
  • General Group operations
  • Code of Conduct
  • Race or Special Event specific rules, with focus on transgender and non-binary inclusivity
  • Race registration sites with gender-flexible options
  • Email, Social Media, and Website assistance
  • Education & Allyship

Our goal is to give you as much or as little help as you desire.
