In this episode, host LMani Viney interviews Sassquader Mr. Jeffrey Bock, the teacher who founded the Hackensack Middle School Happy Feet Running Club, along with Luna Espana, one of the club’s athletes who set a new distance PR of 10K at the Wild Goose Trail Festival. They share their experiences, the joy of running as a team, and what it means to introduce kids to the trails and trail running community. Thanks to the generosity of the Sassquad community donating to the Squatch Kids Trail Fund, all Happy Feet kids are able to participate in the race free of charge, making these experiences accessible to every young runner.

This live stream was hosted by our Sassquaders LMani Viney and Shai Ben-Dor, who brought the Trail Party vibes to the airwaves all weekend long. Big thanks to them for capturing these incredible conversations and moments!
