    Ep. 153 Wrapping the Trail Running Film Festival. With Mathias Eichler
    2025/06/23
    6 Cities.18 Performers.850 Viewers.$1,500 Raised for Jasper.What a damn year!Thank you all for coming out. We celebrated our amazing sport and community in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Crowsnest Pass, Jasper, and Canmore! Not only did we bring our community together, but we highlighted local performers as well. We had burlesque performers, magicians, theatre artists, go-go dancers, and musicians. We highlighted local films, we spoke with local runners, and we raised $1500 for Jasper as they rebuild after the devastating wildfires last year. 850 of you showed up, and we’re so grateful to all of you for doing so. I have to thank my wife, Sheena, for her amazing support with all of this. She’s always eager to help and be a part of it. All our volunteers were awesome, and especially our friends Sabrina and Jason, for once again hosting us and volunteering. Their hospitality is something we are forever grateful for. And my good friend Jeannine is the reason why this thing happens. She does everything! She’s a crusher, a rockstar, and I don’t deserve her help, but I sure am glad I have it. At the Trail Running Film Festival, Mathias and Amanda are great to work with. They’re excited about building the festival, and I’m grateful for our relationship. They’re always open to ideas, they jumped at the chance to help Jasper, they’re always eager to hear what we’re up to, and I look forward to working with them more in the future. This year was incredible, and a big reason for that is our amazing sponsors and supporters:5 Peaks - Stoked Ultra/ScrambleOdlum BrownSki Uphill/Run UphillCoast Mountain Trail RunningWell Health Medical and LongevitySinister SportsGolden Ultra7 Summits SnacksBlack Lung UltraDistance RunwearRunGo AppRviitaHonourary sponsor - Crowsnest Pride SocietyTotem Ski ShopHabitat for the ArtsThe Legion Jasper Volunteeer Fire Fighter Brigade!We are so thankful for all of their help and for the opportunity to represent them in so many communities.

Let us know, we’re hoping to hear from you as we want to improve this thing every year. I want to make this event one that you circle on your calendar, so help us make it as good as we possibly can!

    Ep. 152 The Wildness. With Brittany Peterson
    2025/06/16

    Brittany Peterson loves the outdoors and loves helping runners achieve their goals. So when she had the opportunity to be a part of BC’s latest stage race, The Wildness, she jumped at it. Now people are signing up to participate in the two-day event at the beautiful resort, taking place June 27-29, and final preparations are underway. Brittany, the entire crew, and the resort are all super stoked to be hosting trail runners, and they want to see the event grow in the future. They have a vision and they hope to make Panaorama Resort a trail running destination. I had such a blast hearing Brittany chat about how beautiful this race is, and how they want to grow it. I’ll be watching closely and cheering their progress on!

    Ep. 151 Relentless 24. With Chris Fenlon MacDonald
    2025/06/02

    Chris Fenlon MacDonald loves challenging himself through endurance sports and he especially loves the community that makes up endurance sports. That is why he’s created the Relentless 24 in Canmore, Alberta. A 24-hour event at the beautiful Nordic Centre. Although this year has to be postponed due to some labour issues in the province, this event will be worth the wait for next year. I hope you enjoy hearing from Chris as much as I did!

    The Miller Minutes

    I’m so excited to be chatting with Coach Andrew again for the Miller Minutes! Moab Run the Rocks was a ton of fun and I really liked working with Andrew as I got ready for it. I’m excited to move into summer with Andrew and see what we can accomplish at my summer races. This episode Andrew gets me back into the swing of things and lets us know how others in my shoes can get back to being active when they’ve slowed down a bit.

  • Ep. 150 Canadian Skyline Adventures. With Christian Roy

    Ep. 150 Canadian Skyline Adventures. With Christian Roy
    2025/05/12

    Christian Roy owns Canadian Skyline Adventures in Jasper, Alberta. He absolutely loves getting people out on the trails and into nature. He’s always found nature a healing part of his life and wants to share that with as many others as possible. He accidentally found his way into trail running, but it’s been intentional ever since. The chance to be out there and showing off the great trails around his home is something he cherishes and looks forward to. I really enjoyed the conversation and hearing about why he loves it as much as he does. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

  • Ep. 149 Searching for her max. With Kimberly Stark

    Ep. 149 Searching for her max. With Kimberly Stark
    2025/05/06
    Kimberly Stark owns multiple businesses in Jasper and has chased ultra distances on the trails. She loves to see what she is capable of and push herself as close to her max as she can get. It’s something that’s always driven her and that drive has led to a lot of success. It was such a blast and an honour to hear more about her and why pushing herself has been important to her. It was also awesome hearing about the Bear’s Paw Cafe, Ursidae Lair, Lostlands Cafe, and her work on the Volunteer Fire Brigade. The fire brigade is one of the organizations our Trail Running Film Festival screening in Jasper is raising funds for, and so I was thrilled for Kim to share some information about what they do. We’re also raising funds for Habitat for the Arts, and the Legion!This was a ton of fun for me and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Make sure to get your tickets for the screening in Jasper and we can hang out and raise some funds at the same time!Get your film fest ticketsWe’re incredibly excited to be hosting the Trail Running Film Festival once more.

    The Raven 50 in Whitehorse, Yukon, has had a journey of it’s own since its inception. The current iteration is set to be directed by Natalie Thivierge after long time race director John Carson handed the reigns over. We are thrilled to have them both on this episode and hear the story about this race and its evolution! The race sounds absolutely stunning, and it raises funds for great causes!

And runners have a voice. Runners are amazing advocates.” - John CarsonNatalie is also head of Fireweed Runners! She looks to get young girls active and prioritizes mental health. They join group runs on truth and reconciliation day and have camps as well. It’s a project near and dear to Natalie! It was awesome having these two on the podcast.
