Allison welcomes back Rhonda, who runs Kinda Gritty, to discuss her background directing races and fundraising, and how her company creates experience-focused events with strong community impact.

They recap Kind of Gritty races including Salute Red, White, and Blue at Camp Shelby benefiting the National Guard Youth Challenge Program, and the Molten Mohawk Niner at Thomley’s Christmas Tree Farm featuring hand-blown glass medals and fundraising beneficiaries that have included a prosthetic leg, medical bills for injured athletes, and Oak Grove High School’s cross country team.

Rhonda also shares her role with the Huntsville Track Club on Rocket City Marathon’s 50th anniversary, plus the Hat Trick (5K, 10K, then half or full).
