Pandemic: Report from Race Directors James Varner & Justin Ricks - #80

Everyone is disappointed that races were cancelled or postponed. What about the race directors themselves - this is how they make a living - what is their perspective?

James Varner, Rainshadow Running:

"We're known for our post-race parties as much as the running; it's one big happy family. That's all a big no-no right now with social distancing."

Justin Ricks, Mad Moose Events:

"When you lose something, you realize what you're missing. When people come back, there will be a lot of positive energy."

Justin is a resident of Moab, Utah, and offers a behind-the-scenes look at the local closure of this iconic recreation destination:

"150-200 business leaders in Moab attended the Grand Council meeting in regard to my events. It’s been an interesting time!"
