5 Peaks Ontario. With Carrie Scherkus and Lisa Sweetman

They're new at race directing but not at vibes

Carrie Scherkus and Lisa Sweetman work great together and the opportunity to direct the Ontario 5 Peaks races was one they cherished. The races mean so much to them and they wanted to keep that feeling going for the next wave of trail runners. They really want to make new runners comfortable while offering a fun challenge and environment for those who have more experience. It’s all about creating access to the trails for folks and they are so excited to get the season going and welcome runners as race directors for the first time!
