In 2014, as Mason’s passion for travel peaked and he embraced every journey he could find, Austin Fit Magazine extended a unique proposition. They wanted him to share his experiences running in foreign countries with their readers. While there was no monetary incentive, the idea of sharing stories around his twin passions – running and travel – was irresistible.
Reflecting on last week’s post about running while abroad, we felt it appropriate to recycle this post from 2014 about the two weeks Mason spent running & living in Karatina, Kenya.
Mornings in Karatina: A Journey Through Running - Hop Skip Jump In 2014, I spent two weeks in Karatina, Kenya, running with local friends, weaving through vibrant villages & breathtaking terrains. Relive my journey of running & cultural immersion.
