I'm William Jones Jr. I live in Oakland CA. I have been part of a gym training almost daily for 3 years now. Previously I trained for a half marathon in New Orleans and the Dublin Marathon, all with the support of mostly white folk and a str8 brotha from my church. I'd like to find some Black gay jocks somewhere. I've reached out to countless brothas and none I repeat none have reached back. I don't care where you live I just want to know that support from people who look like me exists.

I've only run a half marathon and I'm not really interested in running a full one. How are you training for it? For what kind of support are you looking?

Kev

There are people out there like you, and we do support your efforts.
But with my knees the thought of running any level of road race makes me want to bring out the knee braces. ;) Good luck in your efforts man.

I am NOT a runner of any kind (tore my acl in HS and not looking to re-injure myself)...but more power to you man...

While I fully encourage your efforts, running is not for me - much like many others that have replied before - and you'll have guessed it, it's because of my knees as well. But hey, if you want any support about swimming or beach volleyball, I'm your guy :). All the power to you.

Road Cyclist & Yogi here. If there's anything I can do to assist you - feel free to call on me.

Wishing the best of all possible worlds,
