What does it mean to say trail running is for everyone — when not everyone feels safe at the start line?
In this deeply honest and urgent conversation, Corrine sits down with trail runner and immigration attorney Carolina Rubio-MacWright to talk about what’s happening right now in immigrant communities — and why our sport cannot pretend it’s separate from the political reality of the world we live in.
Carolina shares what it's like carrying her residency card on runs, fielding messages from athletes asking whether it’s safe to race, and helping race directors develop emergency plans for potential ICE raids.
She speaks candidly about what meaningful action actually looks like — from buddy systems and mutual aid to card-writing campaigns for detained families.
This episode is not abstract. It’s about real runners. Real families. Real fear. And real responsibility.
As Carolina reminds us, silence benefits the status quo. Action builds community.
