E31: VIRGINIA TO MISSISSIPPI - WHY SOUTHERN RACES ROCK
from Behind the Bib · host Lisa Watkins
In this episode, I take you on a tour of some of the South’s best and most iconic races - from the Yuengling Shamrock Half Marathon in Virginia Beach all the way to the Mississippi Gulf Coast Marathon. We’ll talk about crowd favorites like the Peachtree 10K in Atlanta, the heartfelt mission of the St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend, the scenic Mother Earth Brewing Ironclad Half in North Carolina, and the historic Rocket City Marathon in Huntsville. But it’s not all about the big names — I also dive into some wonderfully quirky events you’ve just gotta try, like the Big Foot Boogie in McCaysville, Georgia, and the Barkley-esque Crazies Trifecta in Rainsville, Georgia. Whether you’re chasing PRs or just stories to tell, this episode will have you lacing up and plotting your next Southern race adventure... which is definitely not in Ohio.
