Charity in Motion: The Bi-Annual Grand Caverns 5K with Race Director Mike Betts {Ep 166}

Laughers, lace up your sneakers and hit the ground running with Mike Betts, the force behind the Grand Caverns Signature 5K, on this wholesome journey of community spirit and charity. With the bi-annual race drawing a close-knit crowd of enthusiastic runners, Mike shares the ins and outs of organizing this boutique event, with all the proceeds sprinting directly to Grand Caverns Park enhancements. Twice a year runners convene to cover a certified 5K, steering clear of caverns and into a celebration of fitness and local history. Mike, donning multiple hats as race director and event planner at Massanutten Resort, gives us a peek into his logistical marathon of coordinating with local officials, rallying volunteers, and championing community involvement. From raising money for a Fitness Station Trail with eight able-bodied units and one wheelchair-friendly station) to a natural playground dream, Mike's passion for running has helped fund vital park projects. And it's not just about the race; Mike inspires with his personal running journey, clocking in marathons and ultra distances, including the prestigious Boston marathon. So join us as we cheer on these community champions with every stride they take, and snap up some delicious PrePOPsterous gourmet popcorn with our exclusive discount code.
