HOST STEVE BUZZARD on Scott | "Scott is a tremendous leader and is the catalyst for the running community in Sacramento. He has found a way to bring the running world together on all levels.. And then on top of that ... he is in charge of the CIM. One word. Impressive!" Our conversation hits TWO areas:
- SEGMENT 1 ★ | is devoted to the 39th running of the California International Marathon. Scott also gives us some insight on the history and the details behind this amazing marathon featured in Sacramento.
- SEGMENT 2 ★ | focuses on Scott's work with the Sacramento Running Association. We then find out the personal side of Scott. His upbringing. How he found the love for running. Dr. Pepper. And Fantasy Baseball!
Our Connection | Scott and I go way back. We met at St. Michael's where we taught together. As Scott became a part of the Sacramento Running Association, he invited me to call races. That started with my first CIM Finish Line assignment in 2015. It's been a great run! And fun fact ... I was the DJ for Scott and his wife Katie's wedding!
