Listen Later

Celebrate Pride Month with us as we honor talented LGBTQ+ athletes living their true selves on roads, tracks, and trails. Curious about the history of Pride Month and the role of trans and people of color? Listen in as we discuss Stonewall Protests, the turning point in the LGBTQ+ movement, and we even recommend a great documentary, Stonewall Uprising, for those eager to learn more.

Journey with us as we delve into the challenges faced by transgender athletes and the inspiring story of Chris Mosier, the first transgender athlete to represent the US in international competition. We also discuss the power of inclusivity in sports, with special guest Joanne Hoffman sharing insights on the impact of organizations like Athlete Ally and Front Runners in making sports a welcoming space for everyone.

Finally, explore the power of allyship as we discuss how to use our voices to make sports and running a better place for all. Learn about the importance of safety in numbers and the inspiring story of  Oiselle, a female-founded running company embracing gender identities and fluidity.

 Lace up your shoes and join us in celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community in sports and running!
