I'm a runner who moved to Seattle about two years ago. In 2024, I ran 1500 miles from Seattle to Jasper, Alberta and back, and then I ran 1000 from the coast of Tanzania to the top of Kilimanjaro to East Africa's only public children's hopsital in Eldoret, Kenya. I trained for those runs here in Seattle, often with the Cowgill Trail Collective running club. You can learn more about me at irun.earth. What runs am I missing? Let me know! [email protected]

What happens when you combine two or more athletic sports? Do you get the next craze to take the sporting world by storm? Pickleball and disc golf (both invented in the 1960s) are setting the world on fire as popular sports in their own right. Others that you may not have heard of have been around for a few decades with a global following; and, with our insatiable thirst to reinvent games and take the bar higher, new ones have been spawned more recently (in the 1990s and early to mid-2000s) to challenge our competitive spirit.As someone who has played many traditional racquet and paddle (badminton, tennis, squash, ping pong) sports, I am always fascinated to discover these new hybrids.Note: This list may contain affiliate links, which means that I may receive a commission (at no charge to you) if you make a purchase using these links.
