Episode 20: Journeys Marathon in Eagle River, WI | Rick Wilson
Manage episode 312048578 series 3218648
Tonight we welcome Rick Wilson from Blue Raven Productions: Wisconsin Race Management to our On Pace Podcast. Rick by day is the President of Pukall Lumber, one of the larger employers in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, but his passions lie in the energy of race day!
What started over a decade ago by getting involved with forming Tortoise and The Hare Timing has shifted over time to Blue Raven and event management. Through stout negotiations with his wife, Rick is no longer managing so many timing gigs and down to managing five events a year including the No Frills Marathon held around Labor Day every Summer.
With our connection through the Happy Space. Virtual Race. Series to the Northern part of Wisconsin this weekend at Journeys Marathon 2019 Live Journeys Marathon, Powerwalk in Minocqua's neighboring town Eagle River, we had the chance to sit down with Rick and hear a little more about him, his companies and event management in the near future which - GASP! - it appears will NOT be affected by COVID and the race will go on!
Details on the social distancing, race day precautions, etc will be figured out by Rick and his crew but MARK YOUR CALENDAR for Paws on the Run 5k on June 20 if you want to bring your favorite puppy, tie up your shoes and toe the line! Best of luck at Eagle River this weekend, On Pace, see you Saturday at the Zoom noon call!
