The Trail Running Sisterhood Scholarship, with Angie Lake
About this episode
Applications open TODAY for the 2027 Trail Running Sisterhood Scholarship!
To help kick this program off, we're hanging out with Angie Lake - director of Wild Woman Trail Runs, the first all-women's trail marathon and 50K in the US.
Angie is the creator of the Trail Running Sisterhood, a scholarship from The Cairn Project that gives women coaching, gear, and community for their first 50k or half marathon. In 2026 its inaugural cohort raised $23,600 to get more women on trails and diversify trail media.
In 2027, they're doubling their initiative and offering 36 scholarship opportunities! Give this episode a listen to learn more about the project, and please give it a share to help spread the word!
