Summary

If you’re a runner and you live on Planet Earth, you need to listen to this episode! Three guests impacted by the cancellation of the 2023 Twin Cities Marathon, including the race director, talk with hosts Sarah and Tish about how the weather sabotaged the day. Learn: -how the event week unfolded, leading to the cancellation; -extra safety precautions taken for hot conditions; -the story of one runner who still ran 26.2; -how races might morph to meet the climate crisis; and, -the spirit and support locals showed rogue runners.
