	Description:		The Lane 6 program was a partnership between Canadian Running and Nike. Along with Toronto Community Housing, they created a one-on-one mentorship program, pairing experienced runners from the community with at-risk Toronto youth, aged 7-18. The mentors, coaches, and students gathered at the Central Tech track for six weeks. The program was designed to give these students an opportunity to run and to develop a passion for running by providing structured training and by emphasizing the importance of setting goals. On this week’s episode of The Shakeout, we take you to this track in Toronto to learn more about the Lane 6 program and to meet with one pair from the mentorship program who learned much more than just how to run.
