Crossing Lines started as an initiative to get people of colour to start lines, specifically in the trails at ultra-marathon races. This past September marked the close of season 2 of this initiative, so in this episode, the boys sat down to chop it up and share their thoughts and feelings on what transpired and what might be in store going forward.
