About this Event
Come through Sis, Join us for this important discussion...
What to know:
Run: Join PLR Founder Filsan and Vancouver Run Lead, Clare Wilkes for a 3km and 5km run/walk, followed with brunch.
Keep in mind... we meet you exactly where you’re at (no need to be a pro runner) — come as you are, because that’s already perfect.
Meet: Chorus & Clouds
Time: 8:30am
Brunch: TBC
Discussion: Part one of this two part series will unpack the origins of Body Positivity (BoPo) and Fat Liberation, along with exposing some of the pitfalls that jumping on BoPo as a marketing strategy can bring.
Our Goal: The goal is to disrupt; sharing why running spaces should not merely strive to become "BoPo spaces" but should rather be Fat Acceptance spaces. With this conversation we hope to expose how running culture not only intersects with oppressive systems but compliments these systems. Showing how this causes harm, we will discuss how we can move (run) beyond BoPo.
Your registration will include :
- Brunch
- A curated reading list & questions to support ongoing learning
As always tag @projectloverun, what city you are in and your reflections and/or photo of your run & brunch.
With Love,
Project Love Run
