Runnah: Running Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and Beyond!

Running for Neurodivergent Brains, with Tom and Collin from The Riverview School


Listen Later

This week, I'm joined by two incredible guests from Riverview School in Sandwich, MA: Tom Black, Wellness Director, and Collin Jesmain, Cross Country & Track Coach. Together, they're helping students discover the joy of movement, the power of routine, and the community that comes from being part of a team.

Riverview is a one-of-a-kind school that supports students with learning and cognitive differences in building independent, fulfilling lives. And running? It's a big part of that. From the daily practices to their annual appearance at the Cape Cod Marathon Relay, these students aren't just showing up — they're crushing goals, cheering each other on, and having an unforgettable time doing it.

In this episode, we get into:

  • How the running program fits into the bigger picture of wellness at Riverview

  • What it takes to organize a student relay team for the Cape Cod Marathon

  • The life lessons students are taking from the track to the classroom and beyond

  • Some heartwarming, hilarious, and totally awesome stories from the team

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like when inclusion, physical activity, and community collide — this is it.
