Like the Wind Storytelling
Why We Run – Alex Murphy
For Alex, running began almost accidentally – a half-marathon pact with a friend that was supposed to be a “one and done”. Instead, it opened up the world of ultras, and now the sport brings him friendship, headspace, and endless exploration.
Why We Run – Adrienne Perron
What started as a sixth-grade track obsession has become a lifelong love for Adrienne, who now calls Colorado home. Whether it’s an hour’s gossip session on the trail or quiet solo time, running is both a way to feel grounded and the greatest adventure for her.
Why We Run – Mat Hemming
What started as an excuse to buy a fancy watch and a pair of running shoes has turned into something much bigger for Mat. Running is now his reset button – the thing that keeps him grounded and connnected.
