🏃‍♂️ Certified Runz Celebrates One Year of Movement, Mission, and Community 🏃🏽‍♀️

By The Garden of Good News Staff

What began as a few friends hitting the pavement on warm Savannah mornings has blossomed into a movement rooted in purpose, wellness, and community. In the summer of 2024, Ahmaud Oneal, Taylor Cooper, and Davonte Johnsonstarted running together in local parks and trails—not just to stay active, but to build something bigger.

Fast forward one year, and Certified Runz is now celebrating its 1-year anniversary, surrounded by an ever-growing family of runners and walkers, in partnership with Howe 2 Runz—and the turnout was nothing short of incredible.

Whether you're a fast-paced runner, a casual jogger, or a dedicated walker, the Certified Runz crew welcomes everyone. What started as a simple idea in the heat of a Savannah summer turned into a full-fledged running club, powered by consistency and communication—spreading the word through social media and WhatsApp to gather the community for each run.

In just twelve months, the group has made major strides:
📺 Featured on WJCL’s Juneteenth segment
🤝 Collaborated with Fleet Feet Sports, Orange Theory, OnCloud Running, TB Fitness, The Juxe Joint, and Seba Wellness
🎥 Received media coverage by:

• Kendal Walker of Brand Walk Sports
• Darryl Gaskin of 3 Visions Media
• Deante Graham, independent creative and community supporter

This milestone is more than a celebration—it's a reflection of what’s being cultivated in our local garden of health and wellness. Certified Runz is a reminder that stewardship of the body is just as important as nourishment of the soul.

At The Garden of Good News, we believe in Faith, Health, and Fitness. Our faith in God inspires us to be intentional about how we care for our bodies—our temples and vessels. As Certified Runz continues to inspire movement and momentum, we celebrate what God is doing through this group and the joy of watching a vision take root and grow.
