    About

    The Athletics Ontario Running Podcast explores the stories behind trail and road running in Ontario. A main goal of the Athletics Ontario Running Podcast will be to reach those that we are not already reaching, to give voice to the underrepresented members of our community and bring these stories to the masses. All people, all speeds, all terrains, all abilities are welcome. For you, for all, for life.

    EP 220: Andrew Tsang - Running for Campfire Circle

    In this episode, we dive into Andrew Tsang's massive undertaking: a 260+ KM relay journey from Toronto to Muskoka in support of Campfire Circle. This incredible organization provides life-changing camp experiences for children impacted by cancer, offering them a chance to heal through play and joy—even while receiving treatment on-site.

    As someone who has personally felt the impact of cancer within his own family, having lost his dad after a very short battle with CNS Lymphoma, this mission is deeply personal for Andrew. We explore the logistics and "why" behind the 260km trek to Muskoka, along with his pivotal place in the running community through Stouffville Run Crew, Markville Run Crew and Lululemon, which is why he has a team (including your humble host John Shep!) running with him.
