About Running Turtle
People behind the miles.
Running Turtle Transport is a Kamloops-based, First Nations female-owned Canadian company founded by Alex and Ken Clarke in 2019. We work in live entertainment because we care about the people and planning behind every show.
Our company
Built with care for the road and the people on it.
The company began as a family business and grew around a simple expectation: represent the production well, communicate honestly and take responsibility for the work entrusted to us.
Alex brings the ownership vision and a lifelong connection to trucking. Ken brings operations, technology and a hands-on commitment to solving the problems that arise on tour. Together they have shaped an entertainment specialist that values its drivers and the teams it serves.
Leadership
Meet the people.
Operations
Ken Clarke
Ken leads operations with experience on the road and a background in technology and process improvement. He drives the tools behind Tour Ops and works closely with production teams to get the details right.
Indigenous ownership
Proudly First Nations. Built to open doors.
Our Indigenous identity is not a footnote. It shapes who we are, how we lead and the opportunities we create in an industry that has rarely made room for Indigenous-owned companies.
First Nations female-owned and led.
Running Turtle is owned and led by founder Alex Clarke, who is proudly First Nations status. Her values of family, responsibility and pride in the work guide every tour we run.
A path onto the road.
We actively create opportunities for Indigenous people in touring and transportation, and give qualified Indigenous applicants priority consideration for driver roles.
Indigenous priority hiringGrowth that gives back.
As the company grows, so does our responsibility to the communities around us. We measure success by the careers we help build as well as the shows we deliver.
