The best "jogger" in the world is Eluid Kipchoge. FYI, he's black.

Depends on how you define "American."
Most of the winners of the big races here are Kenyan or Ethiopian.
But maybe Blacks were smart enough to quit when running guru Jim Fixx dropped dead back in the Eighties.
im pretty sure a lot of our olympic track and field team are non white athletes ..
I don’t care since I do both.
Aren’t almost all of the marathons won by black people?
Using this standard in the article, most professional sports are racist... Against whites...
A stupid article, stupid premise....
I believe that hiking and jogging are not nearly as RACISSSSSSSSSS as cycling. Only whites can afford to buy expensive biking equipment.
So surfing, curling, and schwingen are all racist sports.
Check out the finish lines at just about any half-marathon or marathon race. Or check out the local 5K races. At least in St. Louis, where I run, there are finishers of all ages, all sizes, all races, and all abilities. It is likely the most diverse group you will see gathered anywhere. And I can also say from my own experience that conservatives and liberals will run together without any problem. Runners are among the most supportive group of people around, in part because we know it takes a big commitment to complete a long-distance race. And whatever the other person might do with their time, they are respected for their willingness to take on an endurance race.
Ahmaud Arbery was jogging. Does he count?
If you look at olympic marathon medal winners over the last many years, running certainly looks racist to me. It’s all Kenyan’s and Ethiopians.
Yeah, because there aren’t enough Blacks in sports...
A mystery. I love to hike. I don’t run or jog, but I do Nordic walking, which is training for hiking and also easier on the knees than running and gives you upper body exercise. I live in a town with a large black population, and for years you never saw any black people running or exercising...all of a sudden, thanks mostly to health programs from the YMCA, I am seeing lots and lots of youngish to middle aged and even older black people, both male and female, running together in groups.
And they even kept it up during this stupid lockdown! We waved wildly at each other when we passed on the bridge or along the river.
Of course, there have always been lots of young people of all colors, middle school through college, running these routes, mostly because they’re on teams or in special programs.
So there’s nothing “racist” about running or jogging.
And nothing “racist” about hiking, either. I hike with a group that always has a couple of black hikers turn up. It may not be the sport of choice in the black community, but people get to make their own choices. Even black people, which may come as a surprise to our racist media.
Which is more racist? The NFL or the NHL?
Swimming, hockey, curling, golf, rugby, horse racing all lack black people....or maybe black people are too stuck up and snobs to join in? Either way, I could give a flying crap.
Ridiculous nonsense! Last time I looked, there were no “Whites Only” signs on mountain trails.
Just another way to try to make Whites feel guilty and acquiesce to the forthcoming Reparations bill.
Blacks are more likely to be urban campers than be joggers.
