This is the website of Moe the Eagle — runner and motivational speaker. Here’s how he got his nickname, as described on his website: “In 1991 on a training run, lots of screaming in the tall trees on Mount Benson behind Nanaimo, BC on Vancouver Island. Seven or eight of us, including a Carrier Indian were running there. Terrific screeching and screaming and it was too high to see with heavy branches near the top of the trees. Was it a great owl and an eagle fighting, or a bald eagle and a golden eagle? We never did see them but as we were looking up a single eagle feather floated above us. A more fluffy tertiary feather, it slowly drifted down and landed in our group, on my chest. The native Indian made a big deal of this. Translation “The Eagle Man” he said!”

More than a million Canadians are runners, making it this country’s most popular recreational and fitness activity. Canadians run for exercise and we run to raise money for important causes. We run alone and in groups. And every year, hundreds of thousands of us participate in organized races, from fun runs to marathons, which are growing steadily. Until now, Canadian runners haven't had our own running magazine. But now, there’s iRun, providing a uniquely Canadian perspective on the activity and the sport. Published six times a year, iRun educates, informs and inspires Canadian runners.

Who in their right mind decides to run across Africa? Meet Erin van Wiltenburg and Reuben Jentink. Starting on April 4th, Erin and Reuben will set out from the Atlantic coast on Walvis Bay, Namibia to begin a 4200km run across Africa. 100 days later and after averaging a marathon a day, they will reach their destination of Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania on the eastern coast of Africa.
