Race organizer who funds racist, homophobic politicians is partnered with Black fitness group, Zappos and other top brands

John Kane, founder and chairman of road race organizer Capstone Events, is a financial backer of some of Congress’ most extreme politicians, including U.S. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz. Despite this political activity, Black Girls RUN! is partnered with Capstone for Race 13.1 in Charlotte and the company gets financial backing from Zappos, a title sponsor of two events including the upcoming Hamptons Marathon, along with Fleet Feet, Michelob Ultra, United Airlines, Publix and others.
