Voted the number one trail running club in the world by Trail Runner Magazine, the Happy Utah Mountain Runner's, otherwise known by their acronym HUMRs, put another banner year in the books. From supporting local community events, hours of trail work, and sub 24-hour 100s, to running in Europe and all over the Western United States, HUMRs got around in 2014. We dropped in on their year-end party and captured some of the magic that makes this ultra-running club the best on the planet.

Interview: Derek Bowles – Crossroads Academy Many of us in Ogden recognize Crossroads as a skate shop and indoor park, and that it is, but it's also a way for youth to work on accessing their FLOW as a means to recovering from addictions. Derek Bowles, Program Director and Primary Therapist for Crossroads sits down with us to discuss how they use sports like snowboarding, rock climbing, wakeboarding, and skateboarding to ensure kids working through recovery are successful.

Fate, and the below freezing air of North Dakota, gifted us
with Amir Jackson and his ability to empower and inspire our community. In 2007, after staging a hunger strike at a
local coffee shop, Amir founded the non-profit organization ‘Nurture the Creative
Mind,’ and with it, invested in our youth with the tools of creativity,
education and character development. 8
years later, Amir and NCM have affected thousands of youth and have inspired
them to be brave and explore new paths.
Amir also put pianos on 25th Street.
It was an extreme honor for The Banyan Collective to sit
down with Amir and listen to stories of his youth and his thoughts on ‘innovation and creativity.’ After listening to Amir speak for an hour, we
believe you’ll be as inspired as we are to become more involved in our
community and excited to serve in Mr. Goodyear’s Neighborhood.
Nurture the Creative Mind is celebrating its 8th
Anniversary this Saturday, November 22nd from 6-10pm at Ogden’s
Union Station. $15 gets you all the food
and drink you want (open bar) and lots of entertainment; 25 live acts and over
100 performers and art displays. Ages 18
and under get in FREE. All the ticket
sale revenue will go to the Nurture the Creative Mind foundation. Tickets and details at www.nurturethecreativemind.com

Child abuse is a difficult topic, but it needs to be addressed, especially here in Utah where we rank 8th in the nation for substantiated child abuse cases in the nation. Just in Utah, that equates to about 12,000 child abuse cases a year affecting 1 in 5 boys and 1 in 3 girls between the ages of 6-11. Child abuse affects us all in some way, either personally or economically. Prevention is the key and in this episode of Mr. Goodyear’s Neighborhood, the executive director of Prevent Child Abuse Utah (Ogden Chapter), Trina Taylor, discusses how we can all take charge and help prevent child abuse. At the time of this interview, professional runner and Prevent Child Abuse ambassador, Chad Weller, was also scheduled to sit down with us but was delayed in Denver while in route from Miami to Utah. Chad eventually made it to Ogden before competing in the North Face Challenge 50 mile Ultra Marathon in Park City on October 4th. While in Ogden, a small group of us took Chad on a tune-up run along the Bonneville shoreline trail where we intersected with many local runners who were very friendly and patient as I introduced Chad to everybody I knew on the trail – you know who you are, thank you for being so friendly and hospitable. We hope you enjoy the show, for more information on Prevent Child Abuse Utah please visit www.preventchildabuseutah.org

The Wasatch Front 100 Endurance Run has been ‘running’ since 1980, making it the oldest continuous 100 mile race in the country. ‘Wasatch,’ as the race is affectionately known, has spawned trail runners all over Ogden, as they train for arguably the toughest 100 mile event in the world. It was an honor for John and Brandon from the Banyan Collective to sit down with Wasatch organizers John Grobben, Steve Baugh and Phil Lowry and speak with them about the early days of Wasatch and how the race has evolved over the years to become the Wasatch 100 we know and love today. You know what; you’re going to learn the Wasatch 100 is not that different today than it was 35 years ago. In this special episode of Mr. Goodyear’s Neighborhood, we discuss with John, Steve and Phil how Wasatch has remained true to its origins and continues to be one of the premier trail running events on the race calendar.

We learned in the first minute of sitting down with Keith from Wasatch Brewery that one of their beers won an award at the Great American Beer Festival. With 5,000 to 6,000 beers in a category, for a Utah beer to win is a huge accomplishment. Keith explains, "Burning down that fence of Utah not having great beer."Check out the full interview recorded live at the 2014 Snowbasin Beer Festival!
