• Perseverance Trail Run. With Sean Carberry
    May 11 2026

    Sean Carberry fell in love with trail running and wanted to get as involved as he could. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? It’s amazing how common some of the threads are in our sport, but how different people’s backgrounds can be. Sean was a great interview; he is passionate, knowledgeable, and fun to talk to. He shared about his role with the Perseverance Trail Run and the Cumberland Community Forest Association.

    Shoutout to Foveo and Derek Kaufman!

  • Devil's Ladder. With Dan Bourget
    May 4 2026

    Dan Bourget is a self-proclaimed one-trick pony. And that trick is trails. He’s always on them. Whether it be running, racing, or volunteering, there is no place he would rather be. That’s how he ended up with his role at Devil’s Ladder, and he couldn’t be happier working with the small team of passionate race crew! It was a ton of fun hearing about him and his experience volunteering (his first time was at Western States), and I hope you enjoy the chat as much as I did!

The loss was heavy, but Lauren and Jessica are sharing Abi's love of trails as they continue to bring people together. It was lovely to chat with them and hear about what they do in the cool little mountain town of Fernie, and I think you will enjoy the chat as much as I did!

  • Ep. 191 The Long Run. Featuring Haven Johhson and Amanda Palmer
    Mar 30 2026

    Haven Johnson found running as she quit drinking and the allure of trail kilometres and the community around it was so strong she felt supported and strong enough to stay sober. She felt safe amongst those trails and runners in a way she had never before. When Amanda Palmer met her at a local Capra group run, the pair hit it off. As Amanda learned more of Haven’s story, it was clear that this was a story that needed to be told. Haven trusted Amanda enough to green light the project and now the two have a beautiful film called “Haven” that will debut this Thursday, April 2, as part of our Trail Running Film Festival evening at the Rio Theatre, and Chantelle and I were so grateful to hear more about it. This was a fun and emotional chat, and we’re thrilled to share it.

    Haven started a sober run club:

    Pink Cloud Run Club

    Amanda shouted out the fund for their great support:

    Women’s Trailrunning Fund

    Help us get to 2,000 subscribers. We are getting close!

    Film Description:

    Directed by Amanda Palmer, the film follows a 43-year-old single mother named Haven, who finds sobriety and an unexpected lifeline in trail running. What begins as a way to quiet the chaos inside becomes a two-year journey toward her first 50km ultramarathon, The Squamish 50. Along the way, Haven discovers a trail-running community that lifts her up and refuses to let her journey be a solitary one. This is a story of resilience and the power of community that keeps showing up.
