Socialing The Distance
with Larry Eder
Featuring Tom Bedford,
Race Director of the Richmond RUNFEST
Updated 14 Dec 2020-newly updated video….
Tom Bedford and I spoke a couple weeks ago on the Richmond RUNFEST and many topics, including the upcoming British Olympic Marathon Trials and British Marathon Championships in 2021. Tom has been a good friend for almost 2 decades. Tom has a well developed sense of humor, and has developed a skill set to manage events and build successful events. Tom and his wife, Jade, built the Richmond RUNFEST from scratch.
We thank Tom Bedford on his time and Mike Deering on producing #socialingthedistance.
