When social media posts, conversations, and even shouting from the podiums about inequality in the outdoor industry is no longer an option, you take action and develop the change that you want to see. That is how Gina Lucrezi started Trail Sisters, an online community for female-identifying trail runners and hikers, that she started in 2016.As a professional runner who also worked in the outdoor industry, Lucrezi saw firsthand the lack of representation and resources for women on the trails. As she writes, “The path to expanding women's representation and opportunity in the outdoors is not only accomplished by participation on the trails, but also by women speaking up for what they want and deserve.”Enter Trail Sisters. What started as an online journal has turned into a multi-faceted business complete with education resources, articles, gear reviews, merchandise, retreats, local trail sisters groups, races, and even an official “Trail-Sisters Approved” designation for races. Today, you'll hear:The birth of Trail Sisters as an online journalHow it went from side hustle to full-time jobs for her and her husbandWhy building and engaging a community is good for businessDetails on the many initiatives of Trail Sisters and the various ways they make moneyWhat it means to be a Trail Sisters certified eventAdvice for passion-driven entrepreneurs “If you want to make an impact,” she says, “you've got to serve a purpose that's larger than the financial aspect. Create things that help the community.” That community will support you.And, that's what being a trail sister is all about.Trail Sisters Website: https://trailsisters.netTrail Sisters Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trail_sisters/Fueled: A comprehensive nutrition course for active women by Feisty Media | Register Nowfueledcourse.com Download the Feisty Female Athlete Guide:https://www.womensperformance.com/ Learn More about the Feisty Kona Tri-Cation:https://www.feistytriathlon.com/trication Follow us on Instagram:@feisty_womens_performance Feisty Media Website:https://livefeisty.com/ Support our Partners:The Amino Co: Shop Feisty's Favorite 100% Science-Backed Amino Acid Supplements.

Gina Lucrezi is a trail runner from Colorado, a women's right advocate and the founder of Trail Sisters, an American based organization with the mission to increase women's participation and opportunities in trail running through inspiration, education and empowerment. In this episode we talk about how Gina started this project, how it's grown over the years, and what impact Trail Sisters has had on the sport of trail and ultra running. We will also talk about women's participation in trail running, the culture of the still predominantly white and male outdoor sport community, the initiatives to encourage women's participation in trail running and how some big race organizations are taking care of these issues. This is a great conversation about how the general culture and society affects the way people see and approach trail running and viceversa, how trail running can have a positive influence on our society.

Gina discovered an interest in running early on and her talent for the sport was recognized by the high school running coach. The coach was onto something: Gina set a school record in the mile and set numerous cross-country course records. She went on to be a champion DIII runner in college. Post-college, Gina began working in the sports industry, eventually focusing on the outdoor run/hike space. She also discovered a love of trail running and racing, which ultimately led her to becoming a sponsored athlete. All along the way, Gina continued to take note of the preferential treatment male runners and racers received, in every facet of the trail running world. After numerous efforts to create change within the system, she decided to create to something herself. Trail Sisters was born. What started as a passion project at Gina's kitchen table quickly grew to a large community of women who share experiences and support to get out on the trails. Over the past six years, Trail Sisters has developed into a leading voice in the trail running and hiking industry, helping establish a space that values and includes women. Gina emphasizes that the power of the community is rooted in the collective efforts of all of the individuals who have been involved in Trail Sisters, in whatever capacity that is: "I feel like we're very powerful when we work together and we support each other," says Gina. This episode is sponsored by The Feed, the largest online marketplace for your sports nutrition, offering the brands you know and love, from Skratch Labs, Clif Bar, to Maurten, plus their athlete customized supplements called Feed Formulas.

Join Morgan Weinberg as she interviews important figures in Colorado on the Aravaipa Colorado Podcast. This week it is Gina Lucrezi founder of Trail Sisters.

When Gina Lucrezi fell in love with trail running in her 20s, she didn't see many other women out on the trail. Gina craved a community of female runners that she could connect with, so she decided to create Trail Sisters, a national organization that supports and inspires women to get into trail running. Now, Trail Sisters has over 130 chapters across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. By starting this group, Gina has opened up a new world for herself and thousands of other women.Connect with Gina:WebsiteFacebookInstagramEpisode Sponsor:HOKA

The 2021 Hardrock Hundred Mile Endurance Run starts today. Two days before the run an important meeting took place where the event announced a new policy to increase women's participation. Starting in 2022, the percent of women's entrants will be no less than the percent of women's lottery applicants. Darcy Piceu who won the the race three times (2012-2014) is now a Hardrock 100 board member and she's returning to the race this year as a participant. What better time to revisit episode 36 (originally published May 31, 2019) where Darcy and Trailsisters.net founder Gina Lucrezi spoke about the challenges and opportunities to make the sport of ultrarunning more inclusive and equitable for women. Original Show Notes Darcy Piceu and Gina Lucrezi share thoughts on this important topic. "We're in a real interesting time right now. If I do nothing else in the sport, it would be to raise awareness." This is a different conversation for Fastest Known Time, and quite worthwhile. Trail Sisters has established 5 recommended practices for races: 1. Equal podium spots 2. Equal prize money and awards 3. Women's-specific swag (not just unisex) 4. Menstrual products at aid stations (events over a Half Marathon) 5. Opportunity for Women at the front of the Starting Line Citations from topics discussed in this episode www.trailsisters.net www.outsideonline.com/2312071/ultrar…gender-problem www.nytimes.com/2019/05/12/opinio…ernity-leave.html time.com/5594356/alex-morgan-world-cup/

Host Russ Rizzo interviews Gina Lucrezi and three of her Trail Sisters and takes questions from a very fun audience at Berkeley Park Running Company in Denver. Joining the panel are Heidi Kumm, Sarah Pizzo and Sandi Nypaver. In a couple of short years, Lucrezi has amassed a following of tens of thousands of tank-top-and-trucker-hat-wearing women who feed off each others’ energy and encouragement and take to the trails all across the country - and increasingly the world. The panel discusses everything from running on menstruation cramps to safety on the trails and tips for running hills.

After seeing a lack of female representation in the world of trail running, Gina Lucrezi decided to give a voice to women on the trails. She founded Trail Sisters originally as an online journal, an outlet to share the female perspective. In 2 years that online journal grew to 400 articles with 100 contributing writers - all of whom are female! She saw a need, and took the action, which inspires me so much!!! The Trail Sisters platform quickly evolved from digital mediums only, to a growing community championed by women who are ambassadors to the outdoors, and for women’s opportunity in sport. These Trail Sisters are found across the USA and abroad, in the suburbs and in the cities.Check out more at trailsisters.net or contact Gina directly at info@trailsisters.net. Trail Sisters can be found on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/trailsisters1 and on Instagram @trail_sisters (www.instagram.com/trail_sisters/).

Gina Lucrezi’s roots stem from short distances on the track, but after a few wild jaunts on the trails, she was convinced to trade in her beloved speedy flat asphalt for rugged desolate mountain terrain. Her proudest achievements include a 5th place finish at the highly competitive CCC 100k (her first 100k), completing the Western States Endurance Run (100 miles), winning a USATF 10k Trail Champion title, and being awarded a 10 time NCAA All-American while in college (including one NCAA National Title). Off the trail, Gina has spent 10 years working in the outdoor industry with a focus in the marketing arena. Positions include Marketing Manager – Inov-8, Advertising Manager – Trail Runner magazine, Business Manager – iRunFar, and the Activation Specialist for Teams and Events – Julbo Eyewear, Ultimate Direction, and Vasque Footwear. Combining her years in the outdoor industry and her love of trail running she founded the Trail Sisters Community and aims to get more women out and trail running.   Find Trail Sisters:  Website: http://TrailSisters.net Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/trailsisters1/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trail_sisters/   One on One Coaching:  Do you want to weave together your inner passions in sport and life and have them reflected in your outer world?

We interview Gina Lucrezi, founder of a women's online running community called Trail Sisters! Gina’s roots stem from short distances on the track, but after a few wild jaunts on the trails she was convinced to trade in her beloved speedy flat asphalt for rugged desolate mountain terrain. Her proudest achievements include a 5th place finish at the highly competitive CCC 100k, completing the Western States Endurance Run (100 miles), winning a USA Track & Field 10k Trail Champion title, and being awarded a 10 time NC-double A All-American while in college (including one NCAA National Title). Off the trail, Gina has spent 10 years working in the outdoor industry with a focus in the marketing arena. Gina's athletic and work experiences were the reason she was compelled to start a women's trail running online journal: TrailSisters.net! Questions we ask Gina include: How did you get your start in running? What was the transition like from running on the track to the trails? What are some main differences between road running and trail running? What advice do you have for strength training to avoid injuries while trail running? Have you worked through injuries in your career? Tell us about your experience running the Western States Endurance run! Do you train for most of these races alone? What role does community play in training? How did you create Trail Sisters and what was your mission behind this? Take us back to when you first started… Listener question from Chelsie: First off, she wants to say a giant thank you for all the work you’ve done! Chelsie says, “As a female runner just getting into trail running, Trail Sisters is everything to me.” She is also curious: is Trail Sisters different now from how you envisioned it to be? Anything new and exciting in your life currently? What’s making you thrive? What advice would you give your younger self? What does being a Strong Runner Chick / Trail Sister mean to you? How can listeners connect with you? Special thanks to InsideTracker, a biomarker performance testing system and one of our SRC Retreat sponsors.
