Justine and gang are in Alberta and running the Canmore Grit. Therefore, it's only fitting they sit down Laurie Souchotte, the volunteer coordinator for the Five Peaks Trail Running Series in Central Alberta. She discusses her personal journey from childhood runs with her father to becoming a dedicated trail runner and race official. The conversation highlights the essential role of volunteers in the racing community, noting that helpers can earn race credits while supporting the event's logistics. She also shares a poignant story of recovery after a difficult childbirth, emphasizing how trail running serves as a form of physical and mental therapy.
