Mile in My Shoes (MiMS) brings together Twin Cities folks with diverse backgrounds through the power of running. Based in shelters and reentry centers that serve people experiencing homelessness after incarceration, MiMS uses running as the catalyst to build community, challenge misperceptions and biases, break down barriers, and spur personal and political action. For the project, we asked MiMS members and mentors what running together means to them. “When I run with Mile in My Shoes….”

Thanks to MiMS for the great work you’re doing, and thanks to the runners for pausing long enough for us to take a few photos.
