In this bonus episode, Mike Wattigny talks about his recent experiences in organizing various races in different locations. It has been a busy few months for him, starting with the Louisiana Marathon in Baton Rouge in January, followed by the Baton Rouge General Mardi Gras Mabo in February. After Mardi Gras, Mike and his team went to Auburn to put on the War Eagle Run Fest at Jordan Hair Stadium, which saw a significant growth of 40% in participation from the previous year. Mike then returned to Baton Rouge to organize the Our Lady Lake Children's Health Amazing Half and flew to St. Pete four days later to do the Skyway 10K. The Skyway 10K is a lottery race that sells out every year at 8,000 people and was one of the races produced by Mike's team that made it to the top 100 list.

Mike and his team deliver a memorable experience for everyone involved in their races, whether it's someone's first one-mile run or their 100th marathon. He hopes to inspire a balanced lifestyle by encouraging people to make the choice for healthy living.

Mike also talks about some exciting news, which is that registration for both the Louisiana Marathon and the Mississippi Gulf Coast Marathon will launch on Monday, March 20th. He explains that anyone who registers for the half or full marathon at either race during the first week of the launch will receive an exclusive in-training T-shirt, which features the state of Mississippi or Louisiana.
