In 2020, humans have collectively been forced to deal with some particularly tough truths about how we interact. The focus here is on how we interact with each other, as runners. If the quarantine life of 2020 has taught most of us anything it is that we rely on each other as people. Maybe more…

Maybe it’s the end of a year (which is only compounding on the end of a decade), but I feel like I’ve been somewhat reflective this last week on the past. A lot has happened over the last ten years, and each of those events have their place. In 2010 we started LRC Racing. In…
