Summary
There is an unwritten code of ethics promoting health, respect, and community support. in trail running. It has existed for longer than any of us. As a tribe or community, we need to know, share, and protect this code. Coach Jimmy Dean Freeman rejoins us after many years to help us understand part of this code. The SoCal Coyotes running club created a short list of some of these codes. This is not comprehensive but shares some of the tenants we all live by and enjoy. We did an episode on this code, aka Coyote Bushido, back in 2012 and reviewed it on an episode in 2020 to see if it is still pertinent.
We start the conversation by talking about the resilience of the trail-running community, particularly in Southern California, as it faces challenges like natural disasters.
