Our Story
ABOUT
BUEN PASO
"Buen Paso" translates to "good step" in Spanish — and that's exactly what we're about. Every run starts with a single step, and every connection starts with showing up.
Founded in 2026 in Richmond, Virginia, Buen Paso is a Latin community-oriented run and social club that welcomes everyone. We believe running is better when shared, and the best conversations happen after a good sweat.

Our Mission
BUILDING COMMUNITY, ONE MILE AT A TIME
We exist to create a welcoming space where people of all backgrounds and abilities can come together to run, connect, and grow. Our runs are just the beginning — the friendships, support, and shared experiences are what make Buen Paso special.
Community First
We prioritize connection and belonging. Every runner matters, every story is valued.
Inclusive Always
All paces welcome. All backgrounds celebrated. No one runs alone here.
Good Vibes
Positive energy only. We lift each other up and celebrate every victory.
Consistency
Show up, put in the work, and watch yourself grow. Progress over perfection.
What We Do
MORE THAN JUST RUNNING
GROUP RUNS
Three times a week, we hit the streets and trails of Richmond. Every pace has a place, and no one gets left behind.
SOCIAL EVENTS
Post-run coffee, tacos, happy hours, and more. The best part of running with us is what happens after.
COMMUNITY EVENTS
From local races to volunteer days, we show up for Richmond and for each other throughout the year.
