Run In Her Shoes: Native Runners

Gain a deeper understanding of Native American runners in this installment of our Run in Her Shoes series, featuring two Indigenous women runners, including Verna Volker, founder of Native Women Running. With Coach Liz as co-host, the guests explain:  -the prayerful nature of running for Native Americans;  -how being a morning runner is especially profound to a member of the Navajo Nation; -the mission to bring light to cases of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women;  -how race organizers and participants can go beyond land acknowledgments; and, -the sense one runner has of her ancestors watching out for her as she runs in nature. Social Sarah shares details about producer Alex’s beautiful wedding in the intro before the first guest joins at 14:27.   When you shop our sponsors, you help AMR.
