068. Gina Lucrezi, founder of Trail Sisters | Increasing women's participation and opportunities in trail running

Gina Lucrezi is a trail runner from Colorado, a women's right advocate and the founder of Trail Sisters, an American based organization with the mission to increase women’s participation and opportunities in trail running through inspiration, education and empowerment.

In this episode we talk about how Gina started this project, how it’s grown over the years, and what impact Trail Sisters has had on the sport of trail and ultra running. We will also talk about women’s participation in trail running, the culture of the still predominantly white and male outdoor sport community, the initiatives to encourage women’s participation in trail running and how some big race organizations are taking care of these issues.

This is a great conversation about how the general culture and society affects the way people see and approach trail running and viceversa, how trail running can have a positive influence on our society.

Please rate, review and share our show: it will help more trail runners discover this podcast!
