What is your image of an athlete? How does that image impact your involvement in sports or outdoor recreation? How does that image effect the way you think about or interact with others?

Mirna Valerio is a former educator and cross-country coach, ultramarathoner, cyclist and newish skier, DEI practitioner, and author of the memoir, A Beautiful Work in Progress. While training for her first marathon, Mirna created the blog Fatgirlrunning to describe her experiences as a larger woman in a world of thinner endurance athletes. Join us in September to hear Mirna's story and to explore questions about who is an athlete, how we are impacted by stereotypes and media depictions of athletes, and steps we can each take to make recreation in Bristol safer and more positive for ourselves and others.
