On this Mile 20 adventure, we head back to the Rehoboth Seaside Marathon—ten years after the first go-round! Join us as we cruise through scenic out-and-back trails, dodge (and admire) the epic migration of thousands of geese overhead, and soak up the nonstop good vibes from some of the best volunteers around. We break down the course tweaks since the last time we ran it, rave about an unexpectedly amazing gluten-free pizza find, and of course relive Rehoboth’s legendary post-race party—because running 26.2 miles is great, but celebrating it is even better.

Ready for a revolution in your run? In this week’s Mile 20 Podcast, we chat with the unstoppable duo Emma and Kayla — yes, the same two legends who ran the Philly Marathon dressed as full-blown Founding Fathers. Emma’s a globe-trotting marathoner with Chicago, Boston, and Marine Corps under her belt (Rome next!), and Kayla’s a Boston qualifier, ultra finisher, and co-founder of the H2gO Life Running Club. Together, they’re a high-energy force bringing joy, grit, and a whole lot of costumes to the running community. We get into how they met, their club, social media, coaching, and their best advice for new runners. Lace up — this one’s a blast!

It was a jam-packed Philadelphia Marathon weekend filled with family moments, PRs, perfect weather, and plenty of Mile 20 beverages. Laura had an emotional, family-focused return to the course, while Maggie and Lorri kicked things off with multiple PRs in the 8K on Saturday. The crew fueled up on Italian food and soaked in the electric hometown race energy as the city showed up in full force. Lorri and Laura kept the tradition alive with a few “Mile 20 beverages,” Maggie snagged another PR and officially joined the Marathon Maniacs after completing three marathons in under 90 days, and the entire weekend felt like one big celebration. Already counting down to 2026!

Join us as we chase UFOs through Nevada’s high desert in the ET Full Moon Marathon — a midnight marathon where glow sticks light the way, aliens might crash your selfie, and the “cool” desert air still hits 100°F by sunrise. From forgetting our camper key on a garbage can to post-race parking lot showers, this road trip was pure chaos and cosmic wonder. We crossed cornfields, climbed canyons, and nearly ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere Utah — all for the love of running and adventure. Tune in for moonlit miles, Area 51 selfies, and the legendary Black Mailbox finish line. It’s not just a race — it’s out of this world.

Ten years, sixty-five marathons, and one full-circle moment. In this week's episode, we're back where it all began - the Marine Corps marathon. We talk about what made this race so meaningful and how it felt to return to the course a decade, and many memories, later. Plus, we recap our packet pick-up experience, historical hotel bar tour, race day moments, and of course, the energy that makes this race one of the most inspiring marathons out there.

The Atlantic City Marathon is a fast, mostly flat race featuring 8 miles of breezy boardwalk and ocean views. As the 3rd oldest continuously running marathon in the U.S., it offers a mix of history, charm, and fun. Mile 20 hosts Lorri and Laura ran it with Laura’s daughter Madi, soaking in a weekend of casinos, rooftop bars, and three “beverage stops” along the course. From a smooth packet pickup with complimentary vodka to scenic coastal stretches through Margate and Ventnor, AC delivered a memorable race experience with great vibes and even better company.
