From Runners to Race Directors: The Wise Owl Journey

In this episode, the co-founders of Wise Owl Races, Stephen Formosa and Kelby Dover, share their journey from casual runners to race directors. They discuss the importance of community in running, the challenges and joys of trail running, and their innovative platform, Run This, which aims to connect runners with races. The conversation also touches on personal goals, training for ultra races, and the concept of Fastest Known Time (FKT). In this conversation, the hosts discuss the growth and planning of the Winter Blues race, the inception of Wise Owl Races, and the importance of community and mental health in their events. They share insights on race logistics, sponsorships, and the fun atmosphere of trail running, culminating in a preview of the upcoming race and a light-hearted rapid-fire question segment. We had so much fun talking to these guys, we hope you enjoy it too. As always, thanks for joining us on the run!
