Adam Lee lives in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta and is an avid trail runner and podcaster. His show , the Community Trail Running Podcast, was a big influence on my decision to start this endeavour. In this episode we get a brief history of Adam and his running story and we talk about his involvement in brining the Trail Running Film Festival to locations in B.C. and Alberta. Adam has always been helpful when I needed help picking out a microphone or when I was trying to figure out how to edit a podcast. He’s recently helped our group of collaborators to bring the Trail Running Film Festival to Regina! Be sure to check out his podcast ! He will be interviewing many of the filmmakers from the Film Fest in upcoming episodes.
