Welcome to The Runegade Podcast: we’re set to explore the human connection with running, by practicing the lost art of storytelling - big stories, guest interviews and our own experiences - we're your hosts Mark Prociw and Todd Marentette You can watch this podcast on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/dNu69aKsoxE?si=ExSVJhu0g8SPqHOi On Episode 5, Brad Melville, Race Director for the Beneva Mississauga Marathon becomes a new friend of the podcast.

Brad and his spouse, Tara, are the owners of Run Well Events and are a big part of the Mississauga Marathon team. He shares his running journey, and how he became interested in directing races. We discuss the evolution of running events and the ever changing running community, emphasizing the shift towards mass participation, inclusivity and the race experience for the customers. And for the experienced runners out there, the races still presents a great challenge, scenic, fast courses - all the ingredients for a new, memorable Personal Best. Brad provides interesting insights into the Mississauga Marathon experience, including the history, the course records, the course design and cool changes over the years. And if you can’t run, but still want to be involved, consider volunteering - volunteers make events possible, and we love all the volunteers, spectators, sponsors, runners, and the teams that make these large, complex events, run so smooth.
