Running as Community Development | analog*Borderlands Vol1No15

Running is a blank canvas.

A runner creates on it however they want.

It can be a backdrop for personal mental health—

or a it can give the runner space to contemplate God and existence and change and hope and suffering—

and emerge to either change themselves or the world around them.

 



 

It can also just be a run

And now this…

1| Hotshot Firefighters Are Coming for Ultramarathons

Running as Community Development

Red Knot Racing Co

1| Brett Harrison Serves 40,000 Kids with Run Clubs in Tanzania 

2| The Largest Outdoor Sports Festival in East Africa | Built to Serve

3| 5 Day Stage Race in the Shadow of Kilimanjaro

4| a Trail Run Built to Positively Impact Tanzanian Communities

5| Thank You For Being the Kind of Person Who Embraces Challenge

Sometimes when you push your own limits you can also positively impact the world. The miles you run can open doors for kids to join run clubs, your sweat can help farmers, and your burning quads can help a young girl join a cycling team.

Borderlands Family Meeting

Listen: Growing the Heart of Trail Running

Borderlands continues to grow but it has been impossible to do so without you and your support over the years. The Borderlands Family Meeting is our occassional podcast episode where Josh gives you a look behind the scenes to see what’s going on and where Borderlands is headed.

If you’re in the family, here are some simple things you can do to help us grow:

1| Rate and Review our Podcasts on Spotify at Apple

2| Like, Leave a Comment, and Share our Social Media posts

3| Subscribe to our Instagram BtS (behind the scenes) content – coming soon

4| Always click on and give an honest look at our brand partners. We would never bring on a partner we didn’t believe in or think you would be wise to buy from.

Coming Soon

  • The Running Event, San Antonio – Party by Borderlands
