310 Running Goes Global

310 Running athletes Evan & Leah Barlow, along with their parents Rob & Jill, took some time away from Caledon for a fantastic European vacation.

Armed with their summer running programs, the Barlow family managed to improvise in order to get their workouts in.

Here, Evan substitutes the Alps for the Station Road hill workout in Bolton.

Showing their 310 Running spirit, the entire Barlow family forms the now world famous 310 symbol in front of Switzerland’s equally famous Matterhorn mountain.

Thanks so much to the Barlows for taking the time to send us these photos from their vacation.

We think of 310 Running as a family. We love it when our athletes do too.
