Opa-locka "Runs Against Guns" gets people moving miamitimesonline.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from miamitimesonline.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
On Saturday mornings, the group hosts a free run dubbed Tribe Run in different historic black Miami neighborhoods, including Liberty City, Overtown, and, more recently, Hollywood. As a Black man, I have never had a gun pulled out on me [by people] in those neighborhoods it was always by law enforcement, Toussaint says. The dialogue is usually, Oh, those people in those neighborhoods, those under the bridge, or those on substances are dangerous, but that has not been my case.
According to Toussaint, the Running Edge chooses the neighborhoods people are usually running away from, with the aim of injecting love back into them.
