The Idea
Hijab Strides began with a simple observation:
Women who dress differently, practise differently and move through the world differently do not always see themselves represented in running spaces. The experience of hijabi women was the starting point for this initiative, but it is not the limit of who the initiative is for.
Why shouldn’t every woman feel like she belongs in a movement space?
Rooted in one, Open to Many
The Hijab Strides is Abuja’s first hijab-inclusive community run, built with hijabi women as the standard, not an accommodation. Every stride makes space for representation, movement, belonging and community.
