    About

    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.

    EP 232: Tarrant Cross Child, Prairie Run Crew - Running the Land with Saskatchewan Runners

    30m

    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.
