If you're looking for your fall race, and running against the beautiful backdrop of West Virginia and Maryland intrigues you - then consider Freedoms Run Race Series - October 12, 2024

Dr. Mark Cucuzzella returns on episode 16 - we call this episode The Doc's Shoe Box, and covers a shoe box full of health and wellness topics. From toe spacers, to the key aspects of everyday and running shoes, diet, nutrition, diabetes and an Olympic recap - there's so much wisdom in this shoe box, it's over flowing and we thank Dr. Mark.

Three videos to help you see what Dr. Mark shares:
