On the Move

This week we talk about the CarMax Tacky Light Run, Sports Backers holiday happenings, our holiday traditions, and what you can expect from our events in 2026! Check out the last On The Move before a two week hiatus!

Enjoy a recording of a live panel from the Allianz Richmond Marathon Health & Fitness Expo with Game Changers founder Vanessa Peralta-Mitchell and a selection of coaches with the program. They discuss Revolutionizing the Runner Landscape and how coaching is proving beneficial to female runners.

Join us for a special pod that was recorded live at the Health & Fitness Expo for the Allianz Richmond Marathon. Lindsey Hein of I'll Have Another, and Trevor Spencer of Marathon Training Academy share an inspiring conversation with professional runner, Sophia King about the strength we find within ourselves to push through the unexpected and the daily grind of life.

Nan & Kam chat with one of the head coaches of the Winter Training Team, Jon Pigg. Jon's a long time Sports Backers volunteer coach and shares all the secrets of what makes Winter Training Team the group you might be missing out on. Check it out, and join them as they train for the Virginia Credit Union River City Half!

'Tis the season to get tacky! Nan & Kam ventured to the Walton Park neighborhood, home of the CarMax Tacky Light Run! See what one resident, Ned Dunford, is working on for his yard!

District Running Collective is bringing a group from DC to run Richmond, and to be part of the infamous Allianz Richmond Marathon Community Spirit Group stop with We Off The Couch and November Project. See what's in store with DJ Matt and Stephanie!

This is maybe the biggest podcast in On The Move history because it's our 100th episode! Nan & Kam sit down with Meghan Keogh, Race Director of the Allianz Richmond Marathon, to talk all things race week and what you can look forward to when you run Richmond!

The Allianz Richmond Marathon is known for being 'America's Friendliest' and a huge part of that is our Community Spirit Groups. Lance Brown, from November Project, has been a part of the famous cheer squad located two miles from the finish for the last few years. They've taken the winning title multiple times, so he has the insight your group needs to make this year wilder than ever!

With the Allianz Richmond Marathon coming up in a few weeks we sat down with the lead volunteers behind the water stops. Jay, JM, and Marci manage all the stops along all three courses, and work with the hundreds of volunteers that make race day possible. Warning - listening may make you want to volunteer!

Last podcast we mentioned that we're currently hiring for two open positions here at Sports Backers. This week Nan & Kam ask the staff their favorite things about being part of the SB team, so everyone can see a small snapshot of what it's like to work with us. Want to wear running clothes at work? Sure! Eat chicken wings at your desk? Go crazy! This is one to be watched on YouTube!
