Joe Prusaitis started out directing road races, and after awhile realized

the trail is where his heart was. He (along with many others) shifted over

to trail running in the ultra running boom of the late 90’s and early

2000’s. While he admits to one simple advantage he had in helping his early

success (being one of the first trail races to offer online registration),

he also talks about how treating people the way he wanted to be treated

helped him keep runners coming back. Race directing is no easy task, but

Joe has been doing it for over 20 years and shares all about the memorable

experiences it brought to his life.
