Description

When the finish line tape breaks and the cheering fades, the stories of the race remain, rich with triumph and heart. That's where Creigh Kelley, a titan of the running commentary world, comes in. Join us as we sit down with Creigh, celebrating his 30-year legacy as the voice of the Walt Disney World Marathon, sharing tales that transcend the races and the profound impact he's made on the running community. Our conversation unravels the rich tapestry of marathon history, from the intimate beginnings of the Disney Marathon Weekend to the evolution of race events into spectacles of showmanship and camaraderie.Every race director knows that orchestrating a marathon is akin to conducting a symphony – it requires precision, adaptability, and a touch of flair. As he reflects on his own experiences as a race director and MC, he shares the lessons learned from epic fails and the surprising wardrobe choices that come with the territory. We peel back the curtain on the quirky side of broadcast commentary, discussing on-air improvisations and the unforgettable that have defined our careers – from misdirected marathoners to the serendipitous successes that make every race an indelible chapter in our lives.As we near the finish line of this episode, emotions run high. We honor the enduring spirit of endurance athletes, recounting the moments that exemplify why we run – for the personal battles, the shared struggles, and the collective triumphs. And as Creigh  prepares for his next great adventure, we celebrate the bonds that have been forged and the stories that will carry us towards the next starting line. It's not just about the miles logged or the times clocked; it's about the heartbeats behind them, the lives touched, and the inspiration we draw from every runner's journey.Support the showLet Registered Dietitian Carissa Galloway lead you through a science-backed plan to transform the way you think about your diet.Visit www.GallowayCourse.com and use the code PODCAST at checkout for a great discount!Become a 321 Go! supporter.
