## Resource

While Kyle is off in Tokyo chasing World Major dreams, guest host Lisa Watkins (The Behind the Bib Podcast out of Huntsville, Alabama) grabs the mic for a full review of the Every Woman’s Marathon, a traveling marathon built to make runners feel seen, supported, and wildly welcomed, especially first-timers. Lisa breaks down what makes the event unique, from year-long communication and pop-up runs to an expo that’s basically a runner-care theme park (Rabbit gear everywhere, free coffee, yoga, braiding, and “they thought of everything” amenities). Then she gets real about race day in Scottsdale: bus gridlock drama, a “net downhill” course that turned wet, concrete-heavy, and surprisingly hilly, a brutal late climb, rising temps into the 80s, and cramps that made miles 20+ a survival story. She also dishes on the finish-line layout (a little chaotic), the difference in crowd energy compared to Savannah, and why the afterparty absolutely shines with recovery stations, PT help, food, and a legit concert. Lisa wraps with what the race stands for, a generous 7:45 cutoff, the next destination ******** in February 2027, and a handful of race recs that deserve a spot on our calendars.
