A Week Without Driving

As runners, we want safer, more accessible roads. But for some people, being on the roads isn’t a choice; it’s a necessity. How can we put ourselves in the shoes of those who aren’t able to drive and envision ways of making Kentucky roads more accessible for all of us?

On this episode, we talk to Ford McElroy about Lexington’s Week Without Driving Challenge and its goal of getting local drivers to be more aware of the challenges of getting around when you don’t have the luxury of a car.

We also talk to our Saucony rep about the Guide, the return of the Hurricane, and more.

Kentucky Running is produced by John’s Run/Walk Shop.
