The BibRave Podcast Ep. 116: Everything you need to know about Marathon spectating

Listen to this Episode!

We’re thrilled to bring you Episode 116 of The BibRave Podcast! We start with a quick recap from Jessica about her 2018 Chicago Marathon experience. Then we get into the meat of our conversation with Matt Kuzma, co-author of Marathon Spectator Guide.  His co-author and wife, Cindy Kuzma, has written numerous pieces for Runner’s World and also interviewed Tim and Jess for the #WeGotGoals Podcast. She’s also run numerous Marathons, which has made Matt – who also has a background in urban planning and operations – a spectating pro!

After hearing Matt’s tales of seeing runners six to SEVEN times during MAJOR Marathons, I knew we had to bring him on the podcast. We talk about how he discovered the “sport” that is Marathon spectating. He shares some key tips & tricks (Yes! There IS an approach to fuel and hydration for the spectators, too!) and also some key things to avoid. If you’re running a large Marathon soon (or have friends that are), you won’t want to miss this episode.
