Selma to Montgomery Relay + Representation in Races

If you’re looking for a momentous race to run or you want increased diversity and representation in running, listen to this episode about the Selma to Montgomery Relayand Bike Ride. Sarah and co-host Ellison talk (and shed a few tears) with the race director and two relay participants about:  -the origin of the relay that retraces the path civil rights champions tread in 1965;  -the significance of having a minority majority running event;  -how folks “party with a purpose” before and after the 51-mile event;  -relay race logistics; and, -what it was like to run across the Edmund Pettus Bridge.    Before the first guest joins around 7:00, Ellison raves about a collection of interconnected short stories she recently enjoyed.    When you shop our sponsors, you help AMR.
