The North Face and Trail Running Canada are excited about the contribution these ambassadors will make to the Canadian trail running community in 2012. The North Face Canadian trail ambassador initiative represents a significant milestone in the promotion of trail running in Canada.

Quote: “I’m not elite, but I have been a part of the North Vancouver trail running community for almost a decade. Over the years, I have helped to indoctrinate many others into the trail running cult, by volunteering as a run leader for a local adventure race. I love seeing the many people I helped train, covered in mud and sweat with joy in their eyes and smiles on their faces…I have a passion and enthusiasm that I am told is infectious”
