Prolyfyck celebrates claiming space as a Black-led running group. We make noise, we cheer loudly, and we bring enthusiasm and energy. We hold space for everyone, especially people who don’t think they belong. “We here” for the people who don’t think they’re runners, people whose bodies and skin tones don’t fit the stereotype of what a runner looks like, and people who think they’re too old or too young to run in a crew. You’re not going to run us off. Prolyfyck (pro*lif*ic) got started in the summer of 2018. Named for then-living rapper Nipsey Hussle’s Victory Lap lyric “I'm prolific, so gifted. I'm the type that's gon' go get it.” The group has adopted that mindset, being proactive in their approach, rather than sitting, and waiting for opportunities to present themselves. We are creating our own lane.
