Stag Leap Running is a non-profit trail running resource in Fernie, BC. They host group runs and races and love spreading the joy of trails. Lauren Boudreau and Jessica Gamey are honoured to carry on the legacy of Abi Moore, who was the founder of Stag Leap and died tragically in a motor vehicle accident. The loss was heavy, but Lauren and Jessica are sharing Abi's love of trails as they continue to bring people together. It was lovely to chat with them and hear about what they do in the cool little mountain town of Fernie, and I think you will enjoy the chat as much as I did!

Huge shoutout to the Fernie Trails Alliance, Stag Leap loves you!

Carrie Scherkus and Lisa Sweetman work great together and the opportunity to direct the Ontario 5 Peaks races was one they cherished. The races mean so much to them and they wanted to keep that feeling going for the next wave of trail runners. They really want to make new runners comfortable while offering a fun challenge and environment for those who have more experience. It’s all about creating access to the trails for folks and they are so excited to get the season going and welcome runners as race directors for the first time!

Haven Johnson found running as she quit drinking and the allure of trail kilometres and the community around it was so strong she felt supported and strong enough to stay sober. She felt safe amongst those trails and runners in a way she had never before. When Amanda Palmer met her at a local Capra group run, the pair hit it off. As Amanda learned more of Haven’s story, it was clear that this was a story that needed to be told. Haven trusted Amanda enough to green light the project and now the two have a beautiful film called “Haven” that will debut this Thursday, April 2, as part of our Trail Running Film Festival evening at the Rio Theatre, and Chantelle and I were so grateful to hear more about it. This was a fun and emotional chat, and we’re thrilled to share it.

Haven started a sober run club:

Pink Cloud Run Club

Amanda shouted out the fund for their great support:

Film Description:

Directed by Amanda Palmer, the film follows a 43-year-old single mother named Haven, who finds sobriety and an unexpected lifeline in trail running. What begins as a way to quiet the chaos inside becomes a two-year journey toward her first 50km ultramarathon, The Squamish 50. Along the way, Haven discovers a trail-running community that lifts her up and refuses to let her journey be a solitary one. This is a story of resilience and the power of community that keeps showing up.
