Overcoming the obstacles of war in Bosnia & Herzegovina, Erol Mujanovic tells the story of how he is using the sport of running to bring his country together. Erol fled to France during the war in the 1990's, and it was there in France that he picked up his love for running.  Erol says he saw first hand how running can break barriers and heal cultural divides. Katie talks with him about his journey back to his home country to found the Sarajevo Marathon. 

Erol, now the race director of the Sarajevo Marathon, has run 26 marathons and more than 80 half marathons (in 30+ different countries!) Katie talks with him about his advice for travel running, and why you should put Bosnia & Herzegovina on your list.
