Rio Lakeshore is a Backcountry partner who's known for his trail running achievements—but he’s accomplished so much more than that. Rio is a deeply introspective individual and he’s also very intentional about his actions both within his sport and outside of it.
Nils speaks with Rio about being a father, and developing the tools to take on the adversity that life consistently dishes out. The pair also dive into the topic of fashion, and certain parallels between the running and snowboarding spaces when it comes to technical apparel that crosses over with streetwear. Follow along to learn what it means to “Run On It” when an idea comes to mind.
