Run the North
Hello -
I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend. I forgot it was a long weekend when I was putting together last week’s newsletter because pandemic time is real. So if you were expecting this issue yesterday, I’m sorry for forgetting to flag this schedule change and thank you for your patience.
This week, I roundup some news and podcasts and look at the legacy of Donovan Bailey and how, for 24 years, he’s been speaking out about anti-Black racism in sports and in Canada. But I kick things off with a look at how Canada has done in running events at the Olympics, historically.
It’s a long issue, so it may cut off in your email browser. If that happens, you can read it online here.
Thanks, as always, for reading. I’m so grateful the readership of Run the North continues to grow during a time of so much uncertainty and so little running news.
OK, let’s get to it!
