In this inspiring episode, we sit
down with Tarrant Cross Child, the visionary founder of Prairie Run
Crew, to explore the vibrant and rapidly growing running culture
across Saskatchewan.
Tarrant opens up about his powerful personal journey of recovery
from addiction, sharing how the simple act of running became a
vital lifeline for his mental and spiritual well-being. He takes us
inside Prairie Run Crew’s mission of bringing hope and restoration
to others through active lifestyles and strong community
partnerships.
We also dive into a crucial conversation about Indigenous
representation in the trail running community. Tarrant sheds light
on his efforts to lower barriers for Indigenous athletes at major
events like Sinister 7. Along the way, he introduces his beautiful
philosophy of "running the land" - a mindful practice centered on
honoring the deep history and ancestral stories embedded in the
natural landscape.
Join us to hear an incredible story of endurance, culture, and the
healing power of the great outdoors.
