Show Notes

A must-listen for everyone concerned about racial inequity and representation in running, this episode features activist, running clubs founder, and author Alison Désir, with hosts Sarah and Tish Hamilton. With candor and insight, Alison lays out: 

-how running helped pull her out of depression;

-the profound power of group runs;

-the origin story of Running Industry Diversity Coalition, which she co-founded;

-several eye-opening historical facts included in her forthcoming book; and,

-steps to make your running community more welcoming + inclusive.

Before Alison joins the episode at 13:28, Sarah and Tish laughingly reveal their nerdy, pro-sports-ignorant sides.
