Episode 38: Diversity and Inclusion series # 4 with Lee Grabarek on LGBTQAI+ community and Trans-inclusion in trail running

Trail Society

Keely, Corrine, and Hillary interview Lee Grabarek (they/them), a transmasculine trail runner who has vast experience working to increase opportunity and equity for trans people. We discuss their own journey finding confidence in their identity, their opinions around race policies, and goals for the future of trans athlete participation in sport. Keely, Hillary, and Corrine also discuss Keely’s supported Joshua Tree FKT, how going full-time athlete may not mean training a lot more, and changing the narrative around healthy training and periods.
