Today we bring you Episode 136 of The BibRave Podcast! This episode is brought to you by Fort2Base, and features our conversation with Fort2Base’s race director, Beth Salinger. Interesting in running Fort2Base? Use code “BIBRAVE20” for 20% off your race entry!
We start our conversation learning about how Beth transitioned from the tech world into the world of race directing, and how she brought her personal experience as a back-of-the-pack athlete into enhancing race-day for back-of-the-pack runners. She also shares insight into the hidden costs that go into putting on a race event, from community outreach to increased police and security costs, and more. Finally, we dive into a little military trivia around Beth’s own race Fort2Base, and she shares some fun stories from combining military and civilian experiences into one race.
