“Runners love to post their gear for race day… so here’s mine for announcing day.” 🎙️😂
Headset? Check. Coffee? Check. Vocal cords warmed up and praying they hold? Check.
I’ve had the privilege of announcing the California International Marathon since 2017—eight incredible years being part of a race that’s now in its 42nd year.
This will be my third year calling both the Start Line in Folsom and the Finish Line at the State Capitol. It remains one of the greatest honors of my professional life.
My marathon isn’t measured in miles…
It’s measured in names.
How many can I call? How many stories can I honor?
Every year I ask myself: “What’s your story?”
Tapping into that is what makes the first Sunday in December electric.
Alarm is set for 3:50 AM.
To every runner: Have a great race—and I truly hope I get to say your name. 🏅🎙️🔥
