How Does a Visually Impaired Athlete Run Technical Trails? | Kyle Robidoux

What does it take to conquer technical trails when you can't rely on your vision? In this episode of Runnah, I sit down with Kyle Robidoux, an adaptive athlete and visually impaired trail runner who is redefining what's possible in endurance sports. Kyle shares his incredible journey into running, how he navigates technical trails with a visual impairment, the trust he builds with his guide runners, and the mindset that has helped him tackle everything from road races to ultramarathons. We also discuss adaptive athletics, making the running community more inclusive, and why everyone benefits when the sport becomes more accessible. Whether you're a trail runner, guide runner, adaptive athlete, or simply love hearing inspiring stories from the running community, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
