Last weekend all eyes were on Inglewood, Calif. as Los Angeles hosted their first ever Super Bowl at the SoFi Stadium. With the LA Rams taking home the win, the city was electric and excited to honor Inglewood\u2019s home team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there\u2019s a group of athletes that really makeup the heart and soul of Inglewood, as they run near iconic South Central landmarks like the Slauson Swapmeet, World on Wheels, or even Louisiana Fried Chicken on Manchester and Normandie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2018 by Alrick \u201cButta\u201d Augustine<\/strong>, Keep It Run Hundred is Inglewood\u2019s signature run club that invites the community of South Central to get active and find meaning through sport. As a historically Black neighborhood in Los Angeles, Inglewood\u2019s Keep It Run Hundred<\/strong> brings representation to the running space and champions people from all walks of life. With initiatives like ladies night and even a Black History Month run sponsored by Nike<\/a>, Alrick \u201cButta\u201d Augustine always keeps community at the center of Keep It Run Hundred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get to know Butta<\/a> and the story behind Keep It Run Hundred<\/a> as we talk to him about how he got started, marathon training, working with Nike, and the sneaker robbery that inspired him to become a philanthropist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snkrs Day: What\u2019s the story behind your nickname, \u201cButta?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alrick ‘Butta’ Augustine: \u201cAs a kid, I played basketball growing up my whole life. One of my coaches, when I was younger, he told me I was smooth like butter. My mom, my family, everybody calls me Butta.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your official title for Keep It Run Hundred?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFounder. I started this in 2018 just to get people active. I created Keep It Run Hundred because running is something I fell in love with. It wasn’t something I did growing up. In South Central and the inner city, especially where I grew up, running is pretty much nonexistent in 2014.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
