Slowpokes Run Club | How to Build Accessibility in the Run Community

The four founders from Slowpokes Run Club join our final podcast of the year to discuss how to make your running goals more accessible in 2024. Just over a year ago, runners Lucas, Pete, Neil, and Marco looked around the Canadian running scene and decided there was a gap in run clubs guaranteeing an accessible running experience. Soon after, they launched SlowPokes Run Club, a group dedicated to offering Saturday social runs at a pace welcome to beginners and running veterans alike.Throughout our interview, the founders discuss the logistics of starting a run club in four major cities, the importance of promoting accessibility in running, and how you too can fall in love with the sport in the new year.Subscribe to The Shakeout Podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, SoundCloud, or wherever you find your podcasts and follow @canadianrunning and @shakeoutpodcast for more storytelling from the running world.
