“I think I could put on something that's really what I'm looking for. You know, it's like if you don't see something out in the world, you go and create it, right? So that's kind of what it was about.”

Kirk Cherep started Trailblazer Running because he wanted to create events that he would love. He wanted to bring runners together to participate in the kind of event that he would be interested in participating in himself. He’s created these events and they are even giving back to the community through the Trail Mix Fund and sponsoring youth runners. Being on the trails means so much to Kirk that he wants to share it with as many others as he can.

“I have this saying whenever I out in a beautiful place, “Oh, this really fills up my soul right now.” We get so much out of those places. We should be giving back to them. So I like to do things that are helping give back to the land or help build the trails that we're on, or take care of the flora and the fauna that's in the areas that we're running through.”

Kirk was a lot of fun to chat with and I’m glad he came on to share a bit of what he’s all about. Trailblazer Running sounds like they have some great events and I hope the new event is a blast for everyone! Let us all know what you think of the show and Trailblazer Running!

I enjoy the Naak products, even if the sauces took a few tries to grow on me. They get the job done and they don’t give me any issues, and isn’t that the point? So I applied to be part of the squad to get a discount on the products I plan on using a bunch. Reach out to me if you have any questions and I’ll do my best to answer! They give me a referral code, so I’m including that today.
