Maritime Race Weekend

Michelle Kempton began running in her mid-30s after the birth of her twins to improve her health, and within only a few years became involved in her running community of rural Nova Scotia. She has been the race director of the Maritime Race Weekend since 2011 and each year has provided a two-day event that showcases the culture and community of the East Coast. On this week’s episode of The Shakeout, we share Kempton’s personal running story and discover that the unique running community in the Maritimes is all about good times, pirates, and cold beer. We would like to thank the Ontario Media Development Corporation for their contributions to this podcast.
