“I run for a purpose now, and that purpose has continued to evolve over the years.”Jay Tinsley wasn’t always a runner but the sport certainly stuck with him once he embraced it. The sense of community that followed is what has kept Jay around, and all he wants to do is share that with others. As a leader of Black Men Run Trail and Ultra Running Fanatics (TURF), Jay's mission is to bridge the gap between the road and trail running communities, encouraging others to embrace the joys of trails. His efforts to introduce trail running to more members of BMR reflect his belief in fostering connection and adventure: “How can I get the rest of my guys, who pretty much stick to the roads, to feel that sense of community in the trail world as well?”Jay creates many events and opportunities through BMRTURF (he runs the Phoenix chapter) to get off the roads and onto the trails. Even though his community is strong and supportive, he still worries from time to time that people aren’t hearing his message. "I have irrational anxiety that no one will show up," Jay joked, only to note that his community "always shows up."I had such a great time chatting with Jay. It’s clear he’s supportive and passionate about this sport, and wants to get as many others involved as he can. I love that attitude and can’t wait to see where Black Men Run Trails and Ultra Running Fanatics go from here.Trail Running Film Festival Contest!With early bird tickets now on sale and excitement growing for our 2025 tour dates, we thought it would be the perfect time for a ticket giveaway.
