REPORTER BIO

Sven Walther

Sven’s love of running started in Mr. “Kill” Kilpatrick’s Grade 9 Phys-Ed class more than two decades ago. Since then he’s logged thousands of miles across North America in both road and trail races. A first-time finish of the Canadian Death Race in 2012 got him hooked on ultras, and he now loves to escape his desk job as often as possible to run long wherever there are trees and hills.
