Fitspeek 237: Penticton Pounders – Neil MacDonald

What a month for running — a new world record, big numbers at the Sun Run and Vancouver Marathon, and huge turnouts here in the Okanagan. Running is cool again!

One of the key voices in Penticton’s running community is Neil MacDonald — an accomplished long‑distance runner, group leader with the Penticton Pounders, and owner of Peach City Runners.

On this episode, we sit down with Neil MacDonald of the Penticton Pounders to get his take on the marathon record + the surge in local running enthusiasm.

We also explore the business side of the sport — unpacking how Peach City Runners continues to thrive as an independent shop in a landscape dominated by big‑box chains + online retailers.

30 minutes of positive vibes + local insight, with the nicest guy in the sport – click below.
