“If all runners are important to us and their safety is important to us, we all have to become anti-racist.” Vic Thasiah is the founder and executive director of Runners For Public Lands which is a nonprofit environmental organization committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in its conservation work and environmental advocacy. Luis and Vic discuss how they got into trail running, tennis, the birth of Runners For Public Lands, how to become environmentally conscious, and diversity and inclusion in the running community.
