March 18, 2025·57 min

Run Eat Drink podcast Part 2: Detailed recap of Big Beach Marathon Weekend 2025 in Orange Beach, Alabama. Features pre-race meals (Doc's crab cakes, Floribama bourbon), 7K Saturday race with energetic announcer, half-marathon Sunday with Eric's first-half experience, course details (beach start, state park trails), post-race bloodys, and emotional climax: Darlene (deceased friend) honored by wearing her race bib and photographing it with memorial drinks.

As heard by us

A pre-race lodge hangout where pizza, coffee, and group logistics do most of the work.

The episode spends more time in pre-race company than in a tidy recap, and that suits it well. The lodge table talk, pizza order, coffee stop, and careful food choices give it a lived-in feel, while Jojo comes across as the one keeping the weekend on track.
