Canadian Olympian Julie-Anne Staehli is one of several people behind The ReRun Shoe Project, a not-for-profit organization that gives used running shoes another life.
The project sees shoes that would otherwise be thrown away redistributed to under-resourced youth to remove barriers to a more active lifestyle. "This is not a new concept," said Staehli, co-founder of the ReRun Shoe Project. "It's just a great way to be able to collectively share this mission in terms of giving shoes another life, to improve the lives of others."
"We donate to the Mustard Seed, we give tons of shoes every time we get donations from various stores," she said. "We also partner with the Boys and Girls Club Foothills and the shoes actually go out to various schools in the rural communities." "I have a rotation of shoes, shoes have different purposes," she said. "I trail run, road run, I race so I can justify them, in many ways, but as they're nearing the end of the life, I always like to know they're going to a good home."
