In this episode, we chop it up with our homies from NOLA—Harold Dale and Jean Aponte of the 504th Run Crew. Harold and Jean are seasoned ultrarunners who’ve been proudly carrying the flag for a more diverse and inclusive ultrarunning community for years.
In our conversation, they break down what makes New Orleans’ run culture so unique, how they got into ultrarunning, and why preserving culture within run communities matters. These two certified vets drop nothing but gems.
