Issue #44

From Like the Wind

Issue 44 of Like the Wind asks a question: what can we gain if we develop a stronger connection with the places where we run? And what can we give back to the communities who call these places home? As runners, we’re uniquely poised to develop a rich bond with place – as well as help improve the world around us (hopefully while achieving our running goals too). As Elise Downing writes: “Joy, belonging, solving our problems, caring more, finding connections. They’re all part of a way forward, not just for running but for humanity.”

130 pages, illustrated with beautiful artwork and photos, ponder these questions and much more. Stories from runners around the globe illuminate every corner of this diverse sport: outrunning floods in the Palma Mallorca Marathon; moonlit running in the Nevada Desert; hydration and community support on the streets of NYC; and a 50km adventure across the Serra da Estrela.

The contributors also explore other subjects affecting the world of running, such as the relationship between Native runners and their home, whether we can truly hear the voices of other runners, and a look back at our favourite running shoes.
