EP 240: Darius Arjang - Bushtukah: Ottawa's Endurance Heartbeat

In this episode of the Athletics Ontario Running Podcast, we sit down with Darius Arjang to unpack the story behind Bushtukah, Ottawa's go-to hub for runners, cyclists, and hikers since 1999.

Darius shares how putting service first and championing local events—from regional bike rides to grassroots run clubs—built an inclusive home for endurance athletes across the region. Plus, he takes us through his personal athletic evolution, from high school cross-country courses to taking on a grueling 50-mile ultramarathon in England.

Hit play to discover how shared miles build lasting connections!
