Salmon Run: Go Hard and Go Home

An Olympic gold medalist, a Supreme Court pioneer, and a visionary eco-artist walk onto a riverbank... but the fight to save Devon's dying rivers is no joke. This episode, host Laura Briggs sits down with Anne-Marie Culhane, Goldman Environmental Prize winner Sarah Finch, and London 2012 Canoe Slalom Champion Etienne Stott MBE to unpack the wildly creative 43-mile relay fighting to restore the River Exe's endangered Atlantic salmon population. The trio reveals what it takes to defeat oil giants in the UK’s highest court, how navigating elite whitewater translates to climate advocacy, and why trading competitive race times for running "as a shoal" can turn environmental despair into pure community action. This is a story about grassroots defiance, ecological wonder, and the unforgettable power of running for something bigger than yourself. 🐟 Join the Salmon Run (Sat, Sept 19th)💚 Green Runners Discount: Members get 20% off.
