More Than a Finish Line: Lessons from Building a Race in Just 3 Months

Today’s episode is a short, personal debrief on one of the most meaningful projects I’ve ever been part of launching a race from scratch in under three months. It’s been over a month since race day, and I needed some time to fully process the experience before sharing it with you. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really took — the energy, the trust, the people to make it happen. Here’s what you’ll hear: ​Why this race mattered and what we set out to build ​Race day highlights: 400+ signups, incredible finish times, and unforgettable energy ​The volunteers, pacers, and partners who brought the event to life ​Honest reflections on the emotional and logistical challenges ​What’s next — and why you won’t want to miss the next race on October 19 This race wasn’t just about crossing a finish line. It was proof of what we can build when we show up and go all in. To sign up the race on Oct 19 click this link
