On today's Run to the Top Podcast.

The reason why we started the races that we did start

was because we really enjoyed the trails and the course that we designed.

So that was one of the biggest things that we did from the beginning was

would we personally race on that course?

If we wouldn't, then it wasn't something that we wanted to host.

Welcome to the Run to the Top Podcast from Runners Connect,

where it's all about learning from the best and most inspiring minds in the sport.

Together, we can train a smarter, healthier, and faster running community.

Now here's your host, Stephanie Kay Atwood.

Welcome, this is Stephanie K Atwood, Boston Marathon Qualifier Coach and host for the Run to the

Top Podcast. On today's podcast we'll be talking with

Justin and Denise Ricks of Mad Moose events. If you've ever wanted to visit

incredible Moab and experience the beauty of the red rocks and

canyon lands in Utah and Colorado, why not include a race too?

As runners, I know a lot of us always look at potential races when planning our vacations.

So let's learn a bit more about this area.

It's history, it's amazing geology and topography, and some super ways to run there. Let's hear more about

Moab, the Colorado River, Canyonlands and the surrounding areas for a future

destination run from people who really know the area.

Welcome Justin and Denise and thanks for being here.

Thanks for having us.
