Howard Dracup recently experienced being on the other side of a race for the first time! Howard is Race Director for Whitworth Trail Marathon. We caught up with Howard to find out how he got into running, ended up as a race director and what his thoughts are about this experience (just how nervous was Howard on race day!). If you'd like an insight into what goes on behind the scenes of a race then this is a great podcast for you! You can find the FaceBook page for Howard's race here. https://www.facebook.com/WhitworthTrail/
