E53: ROCKET CITY RUNNING

from Behind the Bib · host Lisa Watkins

On this episode of Behind the Bib, I’m hanging out with David Whitehead from Rocket City Runners, one of Huntsville’s most welcoming, no-ego, all-are-welcome run clubs. We talk about how Rocket City Runners grew into the community it is today, what makes their crew feel more like a family than a fitness group, and why showing up matters just as much as how fast you go.We also dig into their upcoming We Run, We Finish 5K — a race built on the idea that every runner deserves a finish-line moment, whether you’re sprinting, jogging, walking, or doing a little of all three. It’s a celebration of consistency, courage, and community… which, honestly, feels very on-brand for this run club.If you’ve ever wanted a run club that meets you where you are and cheers like you just won Rocket City Marathon, this one’s for you.UPCOMING LOCAL RACESFleet Feet Race Calendar Use code BEHINDTHEBIB for 20% off your race entry!!! JAN 24: 2nd Annual Sparkman Indoor Percussion 5kJAN 24: Mountain Mist 50kFEB 07: Mardi Gras 5kFEB 08: Winter Winds 2/4 mi (Huntsville Track Club)FEB 14: Fleet Feet Love to Run 5k & 1 mile (Madison) (Mention)FEB 14: Carnival FrolicFEB 28: Paper Chase 5kMAR 01: Dueling BanjosMAR 01: UAH Spring Road RaceRocket City Runners Links: linktr.ee/rocketcityrunnersWe Run We Finish 5kOther Discount Codes: Noxgear - BehindtheBibBibBoards Discount Code: BehindtheBibMyRaceTatts Lisa152FleetFeet Races: behindthebib
