Greg and Dan talk with Shawn Potts, Race Director and Promoter of the Peoria TT, about the 79th running of the world-famous Peoria TT, happening Saturday, August 22, at the Peoria Motorcycle Club. The historic race has been held since 1947 and brings Progressive American Flat Track racing to one of the sport’s most iconic courses, known for its unique layout and famous jump. Shawn previews what motorcycle fans can expect throughout race day, including practice, qualifying, fan activities, and the main events, while also covering what spectators can and cannot bring to the grounds. He also discusses the involvement of Walters Brothers Harley-Davidson and more surrounding this longtime Central Illinois motorcycle tradition. Tickets are $30 in advance and can also be purchased on race day. Kids 12 and under get in free. Peoria TT tickets and informationSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As fitness racing and hybrid fitness explode worldwide, so does the conversation around performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). This week, sports science researcher Matt Carpenter (@mattendurancescientist) joins us for an evidence-backed look into the reality of doping in amateur sports. Matt breaks down the psychological drivers pushing amateur athletes to seek a chemical edge, along with what current research reveals about PED prevalence across various amateur sports. While there are no direct studies on PED usage in fitness racing to date, we explore how data from adjacent sports can help us gauge the likelihood of hybrid athletes seeking a synthetic advantage. We consider some of the compounds often used in sports. From steroids to peptides and from GLP-1s to EPO Matt helps us understand their use. We also consider the growing debate around TRT and ponder if there is any solution that upholds integrity in sport. Finally, Matt unpacks the real-world logistics of drug testing, biological health risks, and what steps Race Directors can consider to try to ensure that their races are clean.

The Local Enterprise Awards for 2026 taok place recently in the Mansion House in Dublin. The awards are a celebration of the very best small businesses from across the country and serve to highlight the work that Local Enterprise Offices are doing with up-and-coming enterprises in every local authority area in the country.The 31 finalists have each been chosen by their Local Enterprise Office to represent them and their area at the awards, which are in their 26th year. The finalists feature a diverse mix of sectors and founders all competing for a share of the €80,000 prize fund and the chance to be named National Enterprise of the Year. There are also regional awards, and categories for Best Start-Up, Best Export Business, the Innovation Award, Digital Award, Green Award and the Female Entrepreneur award.I caught up with three of the finalists, and the first finalist I spoke to was John Cleary, the founder of Eventmaster and the Limerick finalist.John talks to me about his background, what Eventmaster does, the Local enterprise awards and more.More about Eventmaster:John Cleary, Founder of Eventmaster set up the company in 2010 while working as Race Director of the Great Limerick Run. John could not find a ticket participation system in Ireland capable of managing large-scale sporting events – so he set out to design one. Eventmaster operates a one-system approach for ticketing, fundraising, real time data and scalable digital infrastructure for events. Since 2010, Eventmaster technology has supported over 3,000 events including the Dublin Marathon, Very Pink Run, Cork City Marathon and many more charity-based events. Eventmaster is now looking to target markets internationally through exporting the technology used.

Während wir diese Zeilen schreiben, wird in Zell am See-Kaprun gerade fast alles gleichzeitig fertig. Jemand sortiert Startnummern nach Nachnamen, jemand anders sucht seit zwanzig Minuten denselben Kabelbinder. Verpflegungskisten wandern von A nach B und kurz darauf wieder zurück. Ein Streckenposten fehlt noch in einer Excel-Liste, irgendwo piept ein Funkgerät, und mindestens ein Banner hängt bereits perfekt, nur leider am falschen Ort. Ganz normaler Ausnahmezustand. Mitten im Aufbau haben wir uns drei Menschen geschnappt, ohne die der The North Face Großglockner Ultra-Trail heute nicht das wäre, was er ist. Lisa Loferer kennt den GGUT aus Sicht einer Gastgeberin. Als Geschäftsführerin von Zell am See-Kaprun Tourismus. Und als jemand, der selbst lieber in Trailrunning-Schuhen unterwegs ist als in Besprechungsräumen. Johannes Überbacher begleitet den Sport seit Jahren. Nicht nur als Brand Manager von The North Face DACH, sondern als einer, der die deutschsprachige Trailrunning-Szene mit aufgebaut hat. Lange bevor sie überhaupt Szene genannt wurde. Und Markus Amon? Der hat beim GGUT schon so ziemlich alles gemacht. Er gewann die erste Ausgabe, kennt das Rennen seit seinen Anfängen und trägt heute als Race Director eine Verantwortung, die deutlich über Streckenprofile und Startzeiten hinausgeht. Wenn am Berg das Wetter kippt, Wege gesperrt werden oder Entscheidungen schnell fallen müssen, landet vieles bei ihm. Klingt weniger romantisch. Ist aber der wichtigste Job des Wochenendes. Wir sprechen darüber, warum Menschen so viel Zeit, Energie und Herzblut in ein Rennen stecken. Was sich im Trailrunning verändert hat. Was besser geworden ist. Was schwieriger. Und warum ein gutes Event meistens schon lange vor dem Startschuss beginnt. Was bleibt, ist die Erkenntnis, dass ein Rennen nie nur aus Kilometern und Höhenmetern besteht. Sondern aus vielen Menschen, die sich darum kümmern, dass andere für einen Tag einfach nur laufen dürfen.

And, Brian Leon, who placed 2nd overall with a time of 13:34:00.And with this year, it really was a special year. just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to Jeff Stephens and Andrea for their years of race directing the Lake to Ocean 100K (L2O). Jeff has always been one of those RD's I've looked up too.  Their hard work and dedication created one of the most rugged, legendary running events Florida has ever seen, all while preserving the spirit of a true old-school ultramarathon.Although I've only made it as far as Beeline and have spent time hanging out at the event, L2O remains one of my favorite races of all time. So, thank you, Jeff and Andrea, for everything you've done for the Florida ultra community and for building such a special race.With that also comes some exciting news: Leo Acosta will be taking over as Race Director. For those unfamiliar with Leo, he is the Race Director for Death at Dupuis and has done a fantastic job with that event.It's exciting to see what the future holds for the Lake to Ocean 100K under Leo's leadership. More importantly, it's great to know that this race will continue carrying on the tradition of being an old-school ultra classic for years to come.

Take a run with The Human Potential Running Series podcast. In Episode 81, HPRS Race Director John Lacroix dives into a fascinating, cautionary tale from the frontline of local trail racing: The Rise of the AI Race Director. John breaks down a recent interaction with a new event organizer whose entire race presence, from a highly priced entry structure down to every single line of marketing copy, was entirely generated by Artificial Intelligence. What happens when automated machine learning clashes with the complex, boots-on-the-ground reality of public land permitting, route design, and community safety? John shares the email correspondence, the logistical red flags he uncovered (including courses mapped over illegal social trails slated for restoration), and the essential human truth that no algorithm can ever replace: ultra running requires authentic community and real-world risk management. To close, John connects this modern dilemma to a special speech and original poem inspired by Dr. Seuss's The Lorax, reminding us all of the heavy responsibility of stewardship and why the soul of the sport depends on people who "care a whole awful lot."

Eamon talks to Paul about what we can look forward to and about organizing such a significant event Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

   What does it really take to build a true street Volkswagen that can survive the cruise… and then go heads-up on the drag strip? On this episode of Let's Talk Dubs, we sit down with Dino Mendoza — one of the driving forces behind the VW Real Street racing scene — to break down one of the most exciting and authentic forms of air-cooled Volkswagen drag racing happening today. Dino gives us an inside look at how Real Street VW racing was built from the ground up, what separates it from traditional bracket racing, and why the rules—pump gas, all motor, carbureted, and mandatory street cruise—are what make this class so competitive and respected. We dive deep into: The origins and evolution of VW Real Street racing What it takes to build a fast, reliable air-cooled VW drag car Why "real street" means more than just a name Engine combinations, tuning strategies, and common mistakes The difference between heads-up drag racing vs bracket racing Stories from the track and the people pushing the limits of street-driven Volkswagens If you're into classic Volkswagen performance, VW drag racing, air-cooled engine builds, or street-driven race cars, this episode is packed with real-world knowledge straight from someone shaping the scene. Whether you're building your own VW or just love the culture, this is one you don't want to miss.

Nos sentamos con Aleix, Project Manager de las Epic Series y Race Director de la Andorra Epic, y también una de las caras revelación de esta Cape Epic: fue el moderador del podcast Sin Filtros, en el que junto a Ibon Zugasti y Pau Zamora analizaban cada etapa en tiempo real con un éxito arrollador.Con Aleix hablamos como a él le gusta: sin cortapisas. Entramos de lleno en los temas más polémicos de la Cape Epic. ¿Es demasiado cara para lo que ofrece? ¿Por qué los problemas gastrointestinales llevan años castigando a los corredores en Sudáfrica? Y, sobre todo, el tema más caliente de esta edición: la modificación del recorrido para las participantes élite femeninas. Nos lo ha contado todo, sin esquivar ninguna pregunta.También analizamos lo que pasó este fin de semana en el Tour de Flandes. Las exhibiciones de Pogacar empiezan a rozar lo nunca visto en este deporte, y la pregunta ya no es si va a ganar, sino hasta dónde puede llegar. No sabemos dónde está el techo del esloveno, y sinceramente, ni siquiera tenemos claro si lo que estamos viviendo es bueno para el ciclismo. Lo debatimos, y adelantamos lo que esperamos de la París-Roubaix.Y cerramos con uno de los temas que más nos preguntáis: ¿cómo viajamos en avión con la bici? Caja de cartón, bolsa textil o maletín rígido. Ventajas e inconvenientes de cada sistema.

On the chat is Jeff Iosa, Mr. Pacer Travel himself, as he takes us through his incredible journey at the Big Scrub 150. To add to the fun of the adventure, Jeff chose to take on this challenge on his birthday. From the highs to the inevitable lows, Jeff shares what it took to push through 150 miles of remote Central Florida and what kept him moving forward every step of the way. Joining the conversation is John Baughman, who played acrucial role behind the scenes as part of Jeff's crew. John offers insight into the strategy, support, and real-time problem-solving that go into helping Jeff succeed in such a challenging event. Joe Miller, the Race Director for the Big Scrub 150, also joins us to give his perspective on how it all went down.Together, they dive into the experience from every angle – the runner, the crew, and the race director, giving a full behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to take on the Big Scrub 150. Unlike a traditional race where everyone lines up at the same start line on the same day, the Big Scrub 150 is something completely different. Runners have the entire calendar year to complete the 150-mile route through the rugged and sandy terrain of the Big Scrub area of Central Florida. It's an “on your own” adventure that requires planning, grit, and a strong support system. But what truly makes this event special is the community behind it. Before you can even attempt the Big Scrub 150 yourself, you have to give back — by crewing, pacing, or helping another runner during their attempt. That requirement creates a tight-knit network of runners supporting runners, and it's become one of the defining characteristics of the event. Huge congratulations again to Jeff Iosa for finishing the Big Scrub 150 — a true test of endurance and determination. Also make sure to check out his Youtube page, Pacer Travel!

On this episode of the Florida Trail Runners Podcast, wecatch up with Jon Reid after completing one of Florida's most unique endurance challenges — the Big Scrub 150. And joining the conversation is Joe Miller, Race Director of Combat Racing and the creator behind the Big Scrub 150. In this episode, Jon walks us through his journey frompreparation to execution — the long miles, the mental battles, the role of family and crew, and what it felt like to finally get it done. Joe dives into how the Big Scrub 150 came to be, what makes the course such a challenge, and why the community aspect is so important to the spirit of the event.  Unlike a traditional race where everyone lines up at the same start line on the same day, the Big Scrub 150 is omething completely different. Runners have the entire calendar year to complete the 150-mile route through the rugged and sandy terrain of the Big Scrub area of Central Florida. It's an “on your own” adventure that requires planning, grit, and a strongsupport system. But what truly makes this event special is the communitybehind it. Before you can even attempt the Big Scrub 150 yourself, you have to give back — by crewing, pacing, or helping another runner during their attempt. That requirement creates a tight-knit network of runners supporting runners, and it's become one of the defining characteristics of the event. Huge congratulations again to Jon Reid for finishing the BigScrub 150 — a true test of endurance and determination. Also make sure to check out his Youtube page, YouRunYou, and the gear he's got on Shopify.

Send us a textThe mountain weekend Flagstaff has been waiting for just showed up with big legs and bigger lungs. We sit down with race director Aaron Barber to unpack how Flagstaff Sky Peaks evolved from a “nice race in the pines” into a full three-day festival at Arizona Snowbowl, built around steep ski runs, high-altitude ridgelines, and a finish-line scene right by the lodge. From a Friday uphill lung-burner to Saturday's slate with a 2,500-foot opening climb, fixed-time vert loops, and distances from 5K to 50 mile, to a Sunday point-to-point that tops out near 11,500 feet, this is mountain racing with teeth.Aaron shares the playbook behind the overhaul: hard-won permits through Coconino National Forest, alignment with resort management to unlock summer terrain, and a design that prioritizes big climbs, real technicality, and community. We dive into the 50-mile circumnavigation of the San Francisco Peaks caldera, why short doesn't mean easy, and how gnarly ski-run grades change pacing, fueling, and gear choices. If you're planning a late-summer or early fall schedule, we lay out who should target which race, how to prep for altitude swings and unpredictable weather, and why descending on tired legs might be the weekend's real decider.We also explore the competitive layer: potential prize purses, what scalable anti-doping could look like, and early conversations that align the event with skyrunning-style courses and live coverage. Flagstaff's running culture, from Buffalo Park sessions to big-vert weekends, frames the story, while the Snowbowl venue adds food, beer, and an easy basecamp to keep the community together between efforts. Whether you chase the uphill, stack a vert challenge, or go all-in on the point-to-point, Sky Peaks now offers a sharper test for elites and everyday mountain runners alike.If you enjoy the show, tap follow, share it with your crew, and leave a quick review so more runners can find us.
