Run Canada Podcast

Live from the 2024 TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon speaker stage and moderated by Kardia founder and run club veteran Heather Gardner, this session addressed the current hot topic: Is running the new dating app? As one of the event's most talked-about and highly anticipated panels, Heather led a fantastic panel of speakers, each offering unique perspectives.

Keri Wong, a long-time runner and run club member, shared her experience navigating the world of run clubs as a single woman. Sam Montgomery, a member of the executive committee for Frontrunners Toronto and their social media manager, provided valuable insights on communication and expectations. Elan Bibas and Rory Duffy, co-founders of the Get Lost Run Club in Toronto, discussed how they’ve created a fun, inclusive atmosphere for all kinds of social running events, including run-dating experiences. They also highlighted their efforts to ensure safety and positive vibes at every event.
