Joy & Celebration
Capturing the happiness and triumphs of running.
Driven By a Dream
Habtom Samuel doesn’t give up when things get hard. Even when a race becomes impossibly difficult, when he is literally knocked down, when others would surely quit, the idea of surrender doesn’t occur to him.
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.
Why We Run – Lizzie Wastnedge
This week, we meet Lizzie, a Like the Wind reader for whom running has always been about freedom. From the Scottish Highlands to the hills of Botswana, it’s a way to feel strong, independent, and alive.
Why We Run – Jacob Adkin
Running started as a game – racing ahead on family walks and reaching summits before anyone else. Jacob runs for connection, the challenge, and discovery.
Why We Run – Laura Funk
Running has become an anchor for Laura – a way to challenge herself, stay grounded, and see the world one stride at a time. As a digital nomad, Laura runs wherever life takes her, each run bringing both adventure and familiarity.
Celebrate Running Dads
We’ve curated a thoughtful selection of gifts to celebrate the runner in your life and bring a smile to his face.
Finish Lines
Finish lines are special places. Sometimes they’re just a streak of chalk across a stretch of tarmac. Other times they take the form of a towering construction, complete with digital clocks and colourful carpet.
