I am Garett Landry, a husband with three sons. I’m a maintenance worker at a golf course and… I love to run!
Last year I became a Boston Marathon qualifier, and I completed the Canadian Death Race in Grande Cache Alberta. My future goals include running a 100 mile ultramarathon, and running in the six major marathons of the world. I believe in myself and am always up for trying a new running challenge! Fun Fact: I find open water every month of the year to go for a swim.
Nicole Leger
Cornwall, Prince Edward Island
Instagram: @nlnicole2424
My name is Nicole. I was born and raised on the rich and beautiful soil of Prince Edward Island. I spent most of my time playing outside and hiking with my parents growing up. I believe this to be fundamental as to why I love the outdoors as an adult, and why I consider myself an outdoor enthusiast. My main sport is trail running. I found my love for trail running while living overseas in New Zealand, where I am also a permanent resident. New Zealand is where I first stepped my toes into the world of ultra running, which followed me back home to Canada in 2022. I am hoping to pursue a career in Social Work and want to help people live their best lives both physically, mentally and emotionally. If I could describe myself in one word it would be authentic. I strive to be authentic in everything I do and hope to share parts of my journey with those around me in hopes of inspiring others to get out there and be their best authentic self both on and off the trails! Bless.

I've always enjoyed the adventure. From group athletics as a kid, to cycling, then triathlons and running as an adult, I enjoy being active and fit. I also enjoy sharing love for sport and I am an active board member of the BLT Runners run club, the Maritime Association of Harness Dog Sports, as well as a coach for adult runners of all types. I enjoy running on the streets and trails and hanging out with my amazing wife and chihuahuas. As a race director of charity race events, I love doing my part to give back.
Alex MacLean

Alex's love for the outdoors originates from growing up on a small sheep farm in Cape Breton, where he spent hours on end outside. After climbing intently for several years, followed by a brief dabble in ultra running, he's now having a go at bikepacking and endurance cycling. When he gets the chance, he loves to combine a variety of passions for multi-sport adventures. With an emphasis on keeping things lighthearted and fun, he's often dreaming up backyard adventures that take place a stone's throw from his back door.
Carolane Pitre
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
Instagram: @carolanepitre
Carolane has been fairly active since as long as she remembers. She first started as a competitive swimmer, then incorporated running and cycling to become a triathlete. She started ultra trail running in 2022. However, she had a major setback after a cycling accident. From running 150km weekly to not being able to walk 500m, it took her a lot of hard work and resilience to get back to where she was. Less than 18 months after the accident, she ran a personal best at Boston Marathon and qualified to the World Championship during her first ironman. She now wants to motivate as many people as she can by letting them know that no dream is too big with hard work and dedication.

My name is Ange and I live in St. John's, Newfoundland! I started running ~10 years ago because I thought it would be the easiest way to become active. "Easy" was definitely an understatement and I was HORRIBLE at running when I started. I couldn't run more than 3 minutes without having to stop and walk. But... the more I tried, the more I realized that it didn't matter how long it took me to do a run, the point was that I did it! In 2023, I started Mile One Run Club. It's a free, social running club where everyone goes at their own pace (running and walking). The goal of the club is to make running more accessible, inclusive, and FUN! I really love using movement to build communities like this. I also teach spin and row classes at Studio VERSŌ in St. John's!
Stephanie Tilly

Hi there, I’m Stephanie Tilley and I’m a small business owner and an avid outdoor enthusiast from Clarenville Newfoundland. I enjoy the outdoors and sharing those experiences with my family and friends. I have always spent my time skiing, running, paddling, hiking, and now I share that passion for the outdoors with my husband and kids. I love watching the kids desire for adventure grow as we spend time together learning new activities and developing new skills and confidence. The benefits are endless. The social aspect is what I love most. Connecting with new people, and the feeling of community that comes from a group of like-minded individuals having fun in the outdoors. Last year I conquered the Cape to Cabot Road race that has been on my bucket list for a long time. These days I enjoy volunteering with our local ski club, downhill skiing with my family and running with my dog Millie. This year I’m aiming for another half marathon and lots of adventure.

Since moving to Canada just over 4 years ago to do Microbiology research at Dal, I have been trying to explore as much of the country on foot as possible. After a summer in the BC Rockies, I moved to Nova Scotia and then started running/trail-running just over 2 years ago. I try to get out on the trails every day, usually with my dog, Willow, and I also enjoy backpacking and hiking.
