Join John Shep of the Athletics Ontario Running Podcast as he explores the vibrant running community of Hamilton with guests Dan Pauls and Michelle Greenspoon as they share the 30-year family story behind Runner's Den, tracing its origins from a small storefront opened in 1996 to its recent expansion into downtown Burlington.
The conversation dives into the history of the Hamilton Marathon Road2Hope, starting from its beginnings in 1999 as a 5K/10K charity run for Haiti to becoming one of Canada's premier, fast Boston-qualifying marathons.
Dan and Michelle reflect on their recent 30th-anniversary waterfront celebration that brought out 300 runners, share takeaways from their fact-finding trip shadowing race directors at the Montreal Marathon, and reveal a major announcement: Hamilton hosting the 2027 Canadian 5K National Championships!
