The partnership developing with Chillicothe Correctional Institution over the past two years has been more than remarkable. Yes, The Buck Fifty was established to fund high school chapters of the evidence-based Drug Free Clubs of America program. Yes, The Buck Fifty is helping people get in shape and stay fit through running. And Yes, these inmates have worked and found a way to do great things for youth in Southern Ohio. Listen to hosts William Presson, and Dave Huggins engage with Chris Scott, and Greg Manson talk about their Buck Ten experience. 

We dive into the runner experience for Runners in the third running position for The Buck Fifty with Greg Manson. Greg started running in our race in the inaugural 2017 event, and then was our first hire to help race director Dave Huggins in 2022. We took him out of the running position, but not off the course as Greg is a major asset to all that goes on race weekend. He helps prepare the course and you can propabaly hear in his voice that he has a great time doing it. 

As we move through The Buck Fifty course, we want to highlight each runner and what it looks like to run The Buck Fifty Course. Today, we talk with Will Frizzell, who has run in every Buck Fifty since 2017 and has been Runner #2 multiple times.  He has also been on The Buck Fifty Board, which is a 501c3 non-profit organization. 

William and Dave had the pleasure of talking with Jodi Bennett, who has registered for every Buck Fifty Race since the inaugural year in April 2017. Jodi has run many different runner positions but has been Runner #1 several times. She talks about that experience running Legs #1, #11, and #21. Jodi also works with Another Chance Ministries, which is doing amazing work with those in recovery. 

If you are seeking help to get into recovery, please reach out to Tim Stacy at Another Chance Ministries. 740-573-7005.

We welcome Julia and Keanon Montgomery, who established one of the most prominent and hottest running clubs in Ross County, Ohio. Learn why they started this group and all the different facets of running they include on a weakly basis. 

Each team will submit their projected pace time for all 30 legs of the race. We explain how to do this, and give some encouraging words to all runners to help us establish our starting times. 

We are back in our new studio recording Running Off at The Mouth. This podcast is dedicated to running The Buck Fifty Relay Race, and we plan to bring you all the information you need for a successful adventure. 

Running Off at The Mouth is back for season number 2—finally! We needed some new equipment and then had to figure that out too, but we're back and ready to share all the good things about The Buck Fifty. 

Michael talks about running and how it helped with his addiction, Buckfifty stories from its inception, and we talk snacks without our co-host, Chris Scott, while he eats a Speedway peanut butter bar on the beach.
