Haven’t we all had to learn about resilience these few past years?!
As the City of Paris’ leadership in cleaning up the River Seine before the 2024 Olympics shows, restoring urban waterways and building urban swimming culture takes decades.
So, could adopting the practices of endurance athletes give us the resilience we need to achieve a swimmable Birrarung? Listen now!
As far as we know, Karin Traeger, is the only person who has successfully run the entire length of the Yarra River, from its source at Mt Baw Baw to the Bay, a journey of over 280km. She’s a Chilean Ultramarathon runner & the Founder of La Loyka.
Hilary McAllister, joined Karin as a support crew and runner on the epic Birrarung / Yarra river run in September 2022. She’s also an Ultrarunner and the CEO of For Wild Places.
Sometimes, life feels like a marathon. In this Two Bays episode, our special guests will share how their experience as endurance athletes inspires fearless environmental leadership.
