This podcast series looks into the world of running events in detail. The pandemic had a devastating impact on a sector that was in great health heading into 2020. What’s happened since? What events are growing and which ones are struggling? Is the half marathon the distance of the future, or can the marathon fight back? We have race directors and others involved in the sector, from events large and small, giving us their thoughts.
