Renegade Running

INTRODUCING RENEGADE ELITE: At the 2024 Marathon Olympic trials, the lack of representation of people of color was notable. Renegade, with support from On, Precision Fuel & Hydration, and District Vision is supporting 13 athletes of color to qualify for the 2028 Olympic Trials and pursue a career in professional running. ⁠
⁠
We’re proud to introduce the Renegade Elite team, coached by top American marathon runner and coach Nell Rojas (). The team was chosen for their consistent commitment to the sport, eagerness to represent something bigger than just speed, willingness to commit to our community/ethos, the ability to run the OTQ times, and a belief in the team’s potential to make an impact. ⁠
⁠
We are so honored and humbled to have these athletes represent Renegade and we wholeheartedly believe in them and their talent and drive. ⁠
⁠
Our Renegade Elite team is: ⁠
Di’Jon Smith ⁠
Jennifer Sandoval Cardenas ⁠
Izzak Mireles ⁠
Carolina Garcia ⁠
Henna Rustami ⁠
Raul Rodarte ⁠
Tai Smith ⁠
Alex Wang ⁠
Alejandra Santiago ⁠
Johnathon Zavala ⁠

The Renegade x Nike ReCreate collection was co-created by our own Victor Diaz. Victor and the team at ReCreate re-imagined Nike deadstock to give it a chance at new life. The pieces draw on Victor's roots, inspired by Brown pride, speedo-inspired triathlon apparel of the 90’s, Rei Kawakubo’s genius, neighborhood parks, R&B music, lowriders, and love for ourselves, each other, our ancestors, and our collective power. ⁠
The poncho, available in LA this week and Oakland on March 19, is featured here on four members of our community who inspire Victor with their leadership, vision, collaboration, and creativity. We can't wait to see how you wear this capsule and the amazing things you accomplish in it.
