    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.

    Join the Athletics Ontario Running Podcast as we sit down with Leslie Huffman, an inspiring ultra-runner who constantly redefines her own physical limits.
    Discover how her grueling years planting trees in Northern Canada forged her relentless trail grit and how she conquered a severely broken foot to finish a highly technical QMT 2024 race, and why she is cycling 500 kilometers this August to fundraise for childhood cancer causes.
    Preparing now for BC's steep, challenging multi-day Golden Ultra, Leslie shares her heartwarming journey from childhood gymnastics to scaling beautiful mountain peaks. Tune in today to discover what it truly takes to endure!
