Jogging Memories: 10 Years with EVRC

Becca Clarkson, Vancouver, B.C.

The East Vancouver Run Crew is not your average fitness group. Every Monday night, in a city known for its unfriendliness and flakiness, this crew manages to gather up to 100 people for a social run. This year marks EVRC’s 10-year anniversary—a massive feat considering its humble beginnings. Through this story, listeners will learn how one restaurateur took burnout and transformed it into a life-changing community hub.
