Ann Arbor-based race management company Epic Races is known for putting on, well, pretty epic races. From its flagship event Tri Goddess Tri each June and the American Home Fitness Detroit Women’s Half Marathon, 10K & 5K in the fall, to a slew of year-round races and events for cyclists, skiers, swimmers, and runners, Epic Races provides myriad ways for us to stay moving.
Eva Solomon helped start this company and she joins me on the show to talk about this year’s events, including next month’s 10th annual Tri Goddess Tri at Waterloo Recreation Area at Big Portage Lake State Park near Chelsea, Mich. (This also happens to have been my first triathlon a couple of years ago–it’s a fantastic beginner-friendly triathlon that this year features the Olympic distance in addition to the sprint, mini-sprint, duathlon, and aquabike. You can read my race recap here.) Eva also talks about the special event happening over race weekend — the Zen Tri, which takes place on Friday and includes running, yoga and meditating. {Listen to this episode by clicking on the player at the top of this post or by using your favorite podcast app}
Tri Goddess Tri also is again welcoming well-known triathlete Meredith Atwood, who is behind the site and community Swim Bike Mom, to this year’s event.

[Editor note: We talk about this spring’s Ann Arbor Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K & 5K, which is another Epic Races event. Unfortunately this episode didn’t come out prior to the race start as hoped. However, mark your calendars for next year’s event!]
