Athletics Ontario Running Podcast


The Athletics Ontario Running Podcast explores the stories behind trail and road running in Ontario. A main goal of the Athletics Ontario Running Podcast will be to reach those that we are not already reaching, to give voice to the underrepresented members of our community and bring these stories to the masses. All people, all speeds, all terrains, all abilities are welcome. For you, for all, for life.

- Motherhood & Mileage: Stroller-running hacks (snacks are magic!) and running as a mental health savior.
- Aggressively Inclusive: From walkers to sub-4-minute speedsters, no person is ever left behind.
- Local Love & Trails: Epic brewery partnerships and the ultimate guide to Cambridge dirt.

Discover a running family where community always beats pace.
