Caroline Fisher is a lifelong runner, passionate community builder, and the woman behind Big Sky Run Co. in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Caroline started running long distances as a teenager, inspired by her mother—a strong and enduring runner in her own right—and that family legacy continues to shape how Caroline approaches both life and business. Now the sole owner of Big Sky, she’s created far more than a retail space—it’s a true gathering place for runners of all backgrounds, where post-run treats are homemade and community comes first.
In this conversation, we talk about the highs and hard lessons of entrepreneurship, balancing competitive running with motherhood, and what it means to lead a values-driven business. With Mother’s Day just around the corner, Caroline also reflects on the woman who started it all and the role running continues to play across generations in her family.
