After we discuss the BIG news out of Boston, we are so excited to kick off our fall marathon series!  With so many of our runners preparing for fall marathons, we decided to interview the race directors of five upcoming fall marathons!  In this episode, the first of five interviews, we interviewed Rob Mullett, the Events and Operations Manager for Indy Monumental Marathon, which happens to also be Lisa's fall goal race.  We ask all of the questions about the course, logistics and behind-the-scenes tips about this PR-friendly race.  Rob also has an interesting backstory!   Prior to joining the Indy Monumental team in August 2021, Rob was an Event Manager at the Atlanta Track Club where he oversaw race operations for running and walking events, was an integral part of the operations for the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials.  Rob grew up in Sussex, England, and competed for Lewes Athletics Club. Rob earned a scholarship at Butler University where he became the first sub-four-minute miler in school history before graduating with a Master’s in Effective Teaching and Leadership.  Rob’s athletic career was highlighted by representing Great Britain in the 3,000-meter Steeplechase at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. He set the course record for the CNO Financial Monumental 5K in 2015. We look forward to bringing our listeners more fall marathon race director interviews throughout the month.
