Mile 20

Episode 19: Kicks on Route 66

Get ready for a wild ride as we recap the Route 66 Tulsa Marathon—one of the most fun and festive races we've ever done! From an energetic, chilly start to jello shots, tequila, and surprise drinks along the course, this race was a non-stop party. We enjoyed VIP perks, explored Tulsa’s awesome local spots (shoutout to Elote Cafe and Mother Road Market), and embraced the city’s quirky charm. Sure, we broke the golden rule with brand-new shoes and learned the hard way why renting a car matters—but we also got “Leid” and topped it all off with beer at the Center of the Universe Ultra. This episode is packed with good vibes, great stories, and plenty of Tulsa spirit!

Episode 18: OBX

In this episode, we revisit the 2018 Outer Banks Marathon—flat, fast, and packed with coastal charm. From the Wright Brothers Memorial to ocean views, sand dunes, and a tough mile 20 at the golf course, this point-to-point race from Kitty Hawk to Manteo had it all. We share our road trip from Philly, lighthouse hopping, off-roading to see wild horses, and a post-race celebration with BBQ, beer, and a bonfire “redneck happy hour.” A chilly start, a torn tendon, and a crybaby at mile 6.6? You bet.

Episode 17: Good Morning Baltimore

This week we’re heading to Baltimore for a scenic, surprisingly hilly, and totally unforgettable marathon. From zoo animals on course to Inner Harbor views, crab medals, and post-race Crabby Tots, this Saturday race packed in everything—epic climbs, great weather, and even better company.  We ran with penguins, conquered 1,100 feet of elevation, and toasted with shots at Tir Na Nog. Throw in free hotel cocktails, Hip Hop Fish & Chicken, and a champagne Maniac celebration—this was one for the books.  Baltimore truly brought the hills and the heart.

Episode 16: Broad Street Birthday

Lorri & Laura hit the streets of Philly for the 2025 Broad Street Run — the nation’s biggest 10-mile race. From drinking red wine at every mile (for Medoc training of course), beating the rain, SEPTA hacks and porta-john struggles, they break down race-day highs, rookie memories, and pre-run eats. Hear about the race, the experience, and why you should always bring your own TP.

Episode 15: Rhode Rage

 
Our special guest & friend Julie joins us to share our group’s experience running the 2018 Amica Newport Marathon—a scenic but hilly course through coastal Rhode Island. From ocean views, historic mansions, a post-race ocean dip and great local food, Rhode Island did not disappoint. You’ll love the charm of this small New England race.

Episode 13: Highway to Hell

Lorri and Laura chose the Rock ‘n’ Roll Savannah Marathon for its historic ambiance and the promise of music at every mile. Lorri ran in 2013 with friends while Laura ran solo in 2017. The course showcased Savannah’s charm — cobblestone streets, historic squares, and the iconic Forsyth Park finish — but also included long, soul-crushing stretches on the Truman Parkway, aka the “Highway to Hell.”  Though the race was discontinued after 2021, the memories — and the miles — live on.

Episode 12: Bears! Oh my!

Lorri and Laura revisit their unforgettable experience running the 2018 Two Bears Marathon in Whitefish, Montana - a scenic, small-town race near Glacier National Park with only 53 finishers that year. They share classic course moments like unpredictable weather, sprinting to the start line, sharing a beer with the sweeper car driver and being dubbed “The Philly Girls.”  The trip doubled as a mountain adventure, with post-race hikes through Glacier National Park, a bear encounter, fire worries, and the lucky reopening of Going-to-the-Sun Road.  It was a reminder that small races can leave the biggest impressions.
