Carson Beckett is the current Elite Marathon National Champion and is preparing to defend his title at Carvin’s Cove in Roanoke, Virginia. In this episode, Carson sits down with JP to unpack the journey to becoming a national champion—what it meant to chase the stars-and-stripes jersey, the deep personal affirmation that came with victory, and what the "view from the top" really looks like. It’s an honest look at performance, purpose, and how we evolve after reaching a big goal.
Beyond racing, Carson is building something much bigger: Dirt Camp Racing. JP and Carson dig into how the team was born, what makes it special, and how it balances supporting elite-level racers alongside beginners and youth riders. It’s a powerful conversation about mentorship, culture, and community-building in cycling. Whether you’re chasing podiums or simply riding for wellness, Carson’s story will leave you feeling inspired and grounded.
