On this episode of Le Run Down we talked all things running with marathoner, community leader and "Escape" ultra relay co-creator, Quinton Jacobs.
Quinton is a run enthusiast who's taken on multiple world majors and the Comrades ultra-marathon in South Africa. But this father of three also loves the community and all that it brings.
His most recent adventure, "Escape to Chicago". A multi day relay run, from Toronto to Chi-Town, all caught on tape for an exciting documentary set to release in early 2022.
