Founder and former executive director Scott Keenan joins the podcast ahead of the 2021 Grandma's Marathon. After helping to start the race in 1977, Keenan retired in 2013 following 37 years at the helm of what's become one of the largest marathons in the United States.

Keenan also has a new book surrounding the race called "My Journey to Grandma's Marathon: Heroes and History" that focuses on several of the other people credited with the creation and the growth of Grandma's Marathon since its humble beginnings.
