Jeanelle's love for running began over a decade ago when she ran her first race to help support a friend in their quest to complete a half marathon. In 2014 she ran her first 10k trail race in 50 minutes and achieved her first age podium finish. She was immediately inspired, driven and challenged by a new opportunity in trail racing. Jeanelle and I spoke just days after she secured a spot on the Canadian Mountain Running Team. She is not only one badass runner, but her willingness to support her athletes and friends in the Trail Running community is second to none.
Bonus** We have to opportunity to help support one of our Canadian athletes by helping fundraise! Follow the links below for more info:
April went from not being able to run 60 seconds to running the Chicago Marathon. When she was in the darkest place in her life she buckled down and got out the door. She didn’t know anything about running, she just wanted to have peace in her mind and to love life again, and she did! She is now 4 years in the game and loving what running has done for her and her life.
