"It’s not about how fast you’re
going; it’s about who you’re moving with."
In a world where running is often measured by PBs, carbon plates,
and brand deals, Colin Strickland is doing something radically
different. This week, we sit down with the founder of the Corners
Run Crew in St. Catharines to talk about the power of the "Third
Space" and why inclusivity must come before the stopwatch.
Since founding the crew in 2019, Colin has pivoted away from the
traditional competitive model to build a movement centered on
social connection and mentorship. Whether you're a seasoned
marathoner or just lace up for the fresh air, this episode is a
deep dive into what it means to truly belong in the Ontario running
scene.
Whether you’re looking to start your own crew or just need a dose
of inspiration for your next mid-week run, Colin’s insights on
mentorship and inclusivity are a must-listen.
