#52: Create Your Own Media Platform with Christine Blanchette

< back to blog home

Christine Blanchette started running in 1998 and five months later finished the Vancouver Marathon in a qualifying time for Boston. A year later, she completed a 50 kilometer ultra marathon in Victoria, B.C., gaining more confidence with a second place finish and growing her passion for running.

With a background in media production, her passion and a timely job loss – led her to create her own media platform around running – British Columbia’s only Running, Fitness and Health Show.

She is the creator, producer, and host of Canada’s only Running, Fitness and Health show on Novus TELUS Television called Run With It, which is now in its tenth season.

She is also a nationally published health and fitness writer with a weekly column in the Sherbrooke Record, Quebec’s second-largest English language newspaper.
