    Athletics Ontario Running Podcast

    About

    The Athletics Ontario Running Podcast explores the stories behind trail and road running in Ontario. A main goal of the Athletics Ontario Running Podcast will be to reach those that we are not already reaching, to give voice to the underrepresented members of our community and bring these stories to the masses. All people, all speeds, all terrains, all abilities are welcome. For you, for all, for life.

    In this episode of the Athletics Ontario Running Podcast, we sit down with Judith Kasiama, the visionary founder of Colour the Trails. Based in British Columbia, Judith uses her background in gender studies to bridge the representation gap for BIPOC individuals in adventure media, becoming one of the most influential voices in the outdoor industry.

    Highlights:
    - Building Community: How Colour the Trails creates safe spaces for trail running, mountain biking, and skiing.
    - True Allyship: Moving beyond performative gestures toward active listening and genuine trust.
    - Enriching Nature: Why diversity isn't a zero-sum game, but a way to add new perspectives and shared joy to the trails.

    Judith reminds us that representation provides "permission" to explore. It's time to move toward genuine inclusion and a more vibrant, collective outdoor experience.
