<\/a>SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014<\/p>\nBefore members of Corremos Sacramento begin walking and running around Land Park, they find their rhythm.<\/p>\n
Latin music fills the air as participants dance, stretch, and prepare to move. The warm-up resembles a family celebration, with a DJ playing upbeat music as people of different ages, body types, and athletic abilities follow along.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur warm-up involves a little bit of some Latino dance moves, and some stretches as well,\u201d warm-up leader Mariana Reyes said. \u201cWe combine the music with the moves, so it\u2019s kind of a nice, fun warm-up.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Reyes said the club offers more than exercise.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not just about running,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s about getting outdoors and building community.\u201d<\/p>\n
Corremos means \u201cwe run\u201d in Spanish. Founder Dalia Ramirez-Robles said the Latino-led club is designed to be about much more than logging miles.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want people to feel safe here, so we really create a fun cultural experience, but then also feel that family familiarity, like we\u2019re hanging out at a carne asada, but we\u2019re also going to go for a walk or a run,\u201d Ramirez-Robles said.<\/p>\n
Ramirez-Robles began working to bring a Latino running group to Sacramento in 2021. Corremos Sacramento officially launched in July 2022, filling what she saw as a void in the area\u2019s running community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere weren\u2019t a lot of groups, and there weren\u2019t a lot of people that looked like me in the scene,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Since then, Corremos Sacramento has grown, drawing dozens of people to its Monday gatherings and building relationships with running organizations, athletic brands and local food vendors.<\/p>\n
Participants can run or walk at their own pace<\/p>\n
There is no pressure to be the fastest person on the course. Some participants run, while others walk. Parents push children in strollers, families exercise together, and some members bring their dogs.<\/p>\n
Ruby Pineda joined the group after having her baby and searching for a community that could help her return to running. She initially walked the route before gradually beginning to run again.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust come out,\u201d Pineda said. \u201cHonestly, I started walking, and I just started doing the running now, within the last month or so. So I would say just start with the walk.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pineda said the Spanish-language music and culturally inclusive warm-ups also allow her to share the experience with her son.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love that, especially because my son comes, and I want him to grow around the culture,\u201d she said. \u201cSo I love that for him, too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sharing Latino culture across generations<\/p>\n
That connection between generations also brought Yoli Rodriguez-Thompson to the club with her 6-year-old daughter, Julietta.<\/p>\n
Rodriguez-Thompson said her daughter is Mexican American and British, and she wants her to remain connected to her Mexican heritage.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why I like to bring her around the community and the music,\u201d Rodriguez-Thompson said.<\/p>\n
For members, Corremos Sacramento has helped transform running from a solo sport into a shared journey. The club offers a place to exercise while celebrating Latino culture, supporting families and building friendships.<\/p>\n
The message participants carry along the course is one of cultural pride and collective strength: \u201c\u00a1Viva M\u00e9xico!\u201d and \u201c\u00a1Que viva Latinoam\u00e9rica!\u201d<\/p>\n
