The world of running isn't just about PRs and miles—it's about connection. Join us on the Athletics Ontario Running Podcast for an electrifying conversation with Lauren Mantha, the former nurse who traded her scrubs for running shoes and ignited a movement with "A Running List." What started in 2023 as a single charity challenge didn't just transform her body; it reshaped her life. Lauren dives into the unexpected social power she found in local run clubs, calling the experience nothing short of transformative.
Inspired by this sense of belonging, Lauren built a resource every runner needs: "A Running List." This incredible website is a one-stop-shop designed to help anyone—from beginner to marathoner—easily find and join run clubs, and she's not stopping there. Hear her ambitious plans to expand this community-finding tool globally!
We'll talk about the logistics and magic of organizing community runs, the future fitness goals that keep her moving, and why, for her, the true finish line isn't a banner—it's a vibrant, interconnected community. If you're looking for a dose of inspiration that proves running is the ultimate team sport, lace up and listen in!
