The Inner Runner
Week of June 10, 2023
This unique run takes a mind-body view of running, examining how running affects every part of our lives, and enables us to look inward—at the inner runner—to find out who we really are and to embrace the challenge of discovering our true selves. For many, running is a pathway to experiences and emotions that cannot always be articulated. They must be felt. Running guru and author of The Inner Runner Dr. Jason Karp will lead inspiring outdoor group runs, exploring what it means to be a runner and how running helps you become the person you want to be.
A competitive runner since sixth grade, Dr. Jason Karp quickly learned how running molds us into better, more deeply conscious people, just as the miles and interval workouts mold us into faster, more enduring runners. This passion Jason found as a kid placed him on a road that he still follows as a coach, exercise physiologist, author of 12 books and 400 articles, and speaker. He is the 2011 IDEA Personal Trainer of the Year and two-time recipient of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition Community Leadership award. His REVO₂LUTION RUNNING™ certification has been obtained by coaches in 25 countries. In 2021, he became the first American distance running coach to live and coach in Kenya.
