The Rambling Runner Podcast

In this episode, I welcome Justin Williams, a former college football player turned running community leader, to discuss his journey from the football field to facilitating vibrant running communities in urban areas.

We explore the challenges and rewards of creating inclusive spaces for runners of all levels, the importance of word-of-mouth growth, and the balance between personal running goals and community leadership. Justin shares insights on fostering a supportive environment with the Unseen Run Club where no runner is left behind and the significance of maintaining authenticity in partnerships and collaborations.
