What if running could break down walls between people, cultures, and even conflict zones? In this episode of Pushing Horizons, I sit down with author and endurance runner Tom Leddy, a man who’s not just run marathons on all 7 continents, but who’s now racing in countries labeled “dangerous” by the U.S. State Department.
We get into surviving a difficult childhood, losing his mother young, running through grief, and building friendships in places most people avoid.
This is about more than races. It’s about proving that real human connection can outpace fear, borders, and politics.
