EP 207: Colin Strickland, Corners Run Crew - More Than a Run: Community Over Competition
About this episode
"It's not about how fast you're going; it's about who you're moving with."
In a world where running is often measured by PBs, carbon plates, and brand deals, Colin Strickland is doing something radically different. This week, we sit down with the founder of the Corners Run Crew in St. Catharines to talk about the power of the "Third Space" and why inclusivity must come before the stopwatch.
Since founding the crew in 2019, Colin has pivoted away from the traditional competitive model to build a movement centered on social connection and mentorship. Whether you're a seasoned marathoner or just lace up for the fresh air, this episode is a deep dive into what it means to truly belong in the Ontario running scene.
Whether you're looking to start your own crew or just need a dose of inspiration for your next mid-week run, Colin's insights on mentorship and inclusivity are a must-listen.
