Go Beyond Racing, one of Pacific Northwest longest running and most reputable trail racing organizations just went through a major brand refresh and co-owner Renee Janssen is here to share the backstory. We dive into the origins of Go Beyond and Renee's motivation to leave her corporate cubicle to take on race directing full time alongside her husband Todd.

We also chat about the important work of the Trail Mix Fund a nonprofit the two founded during the COVID pandemic which is aimed to bring more diversity to our trail running community.
