You probably know Lazarus Lake creator of the Barkley Marathon and Big’s Backyard. Meet the man behind the races who grew up running in Tennessee, has run across the United States and found the fun in creating his own, unique races. In 2018, he ran from Newport, Rhode Island to Newport, Oregon. In 2020 he had over 19,000 people join his races virtually.

The Old Crazy Runners also recap the Leprechaun dash, the importance of planning your training and sticking to your plan, and the latest carbon fiber Nike. We also talk about embracing a finish for what it’s worth regardless of expectations.
