Will Run For started during COVID when two runners with very different abilities — Tom and Erin — decided the world needed a podcast for real, relatable runners. Six years later, the crew has grown, the routes have gotten longer (and sometimes darker), and the laughs have never stopped. In this episode, everyone shares their origin story: first races, how they found running, their favorite distances, their weirdest running adventures, and where they're headed next. Plus: a sneak peek at runDisney Springtime Surprise, the Virtually Live Race challenge, and why Inside the Runner's Studio is making a comeback.
