Out and About: Queer Running with VQRC

Since the start of my own trail running and outdoor expedition pursuits, feeling seen on the trails can be taken as a form of safety in so many ways, and reflect the spaces around me.

I have always gravitated to Patagonia products not only due to their conscious approach to sustainability, but also in the ways that they make people feel warm and welcome - whether it be their commitment to enhancing 2SLGBTQIA+ voices, or in the ways that is expressed in the colours and patterns that we feel both inside and out. I’m really excited that Patagonia Victoria will be joining me for this journey to be around community running through the North Cascades!

A big part of this opportunity is bringing this experience back to community. With Patagonia Victoria, we’ll be hosting an event, on October 16th to share the Out Trails experience, terrain in the North Cascades, gear required, and an opportunity connect with one another to envision ways to brighten the trails.

This is a free event for everyone, 2SLGBTQIA+ folks and allies!

Tickets are needed and can be accessed in the link in bio and donations collected will be going to the Island Queer and Allies who care fund to support wellbeing initiatives on Vancouver Island🌟🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✨💓
