Welcome to Full Soul Running!
Helping you integrate outdoor movement into your life in a joyful and fulfilling way
Hi! My name is Ian Backstrom
I’m a trail runner, musician, scientist, partner, friend, dog dad, and writer—just to name a few!
I started Full Soul Running because I love being, and moving, outdoors and want to help others enjoy it too, in whatever way that may look for each person.
