Connected by the Outdoors
|
This month, we're pressing play on some of our
favourite films from the past few years. From an in-depth look at surfing's most spiritual act, to a run
challenge turned global clean air campaign, we hope
you find some inspiration for your next moves this
summer: into action, in support of your community,
or simply out the door.

Running Up for Air
|
In 2012, Jared Campbell decided to run up and down
Salt Lake City's Grandeur Peak for 24 hours, to raise
money for air quality advocacy work. The following
year, a few friends joined in. The next year: even more.
After 11 years, Campbell's solo project has morphed
into Running Up For Air: a worldwide movement with
dozens of races, hundreds of runners and tens of
thousands of dollars raised around the globe. This is a
story about how running builds community that can
jump-start change far beyond the trails.

Mountain Bike

North Shore Betty
|
The misty forests above North Vancouver, British
Columbia, are hallowed ground for mountain biking, a
place so harrowing it's influenced every aspect of the
sport for over 30 years. It's also where Betty Birrell, at
age 45, picked up mountain biking after a career as a
mountaineer and professional windsurfer. Three
decades later, the single mother still thinks life is one
big playground-and that you're never too old to send.

by lifelong activists Annie Leonard and
André Carothers, the book revisits dozens
of protests across the world that changed
the course of history.
