Stew has been running since the early 90's. Rumour has it he tried the Macarena but was no good at it so he took up running. He is a current team member of the University of Calgary Dino's Track and Cross Country varsity team.

The Strides Team recruited Stew to run the day to day operations because of his in-depth knowledge of the sport of running, running products and his easy going demeanor. Stew has years of experience in the industry and his mileage provides him with the base training to give you the right advice. His clinic alumni often refer to his ability to provide straight forward training technique in a style that make them feel at ease.

With excellent versatility he races from 800 meters on the track up to the half marathon on the road. With 2 half marathon's under his belt he is starting to look at the marathon.

"It doesn't matter what distance you go for, it matters that you enjoy the running!"

Favorite running moment: Racing in the 2004 Olympic Trials in the Steeple Chase.

Stewart is the Preseident of the University of Calgary Athletic Club and the Secretary of the Dino Dash Road Race.
