In this in-person episode of the
Athletics Ontario Running Podcast, the Crossing Lines gentlemen
return to dive into their game-changing new resource designed
specifically for race directors, event organizers, and industry
leaders looking to build a more equitable running community.
Developed in partnership with Bloom, the Crossing Lines Playbook
provides a highly practical, actionable framework to address
long-standing gaps in safety, representation, and accessibility for
Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) runners. We explore
how you can take simple, achievable steps to completely refresh
your start line and design events where every runner feels they
belong.
Whether you manage a local 5K or a major marathon, this
conversation offers the tools you need to shift from standard
planning to intentional inclusion. Plus, learn how you can get your
hands on this free guide and partner directly with the Crossing
Lines team to transform your next event.
