Episode 46 - The Final Countdown Tribute

Welcome back, everybody.

I'm Adam Lowe.

And if you listened before, you know I can talk about the towpath all

day.

And I'm Chris Earl.

If it's an ultra, a backyard, or some ridiculous running challenge, I'm probably signing up for it.

And I'm Katie Lowe.

I love all things running, but my specialties are run streaking and the beer mile.

Together, we're here to share the stories that make running such an incredible community.

From local legends to elite athletes, race directors, and everyday runners, we'll cover the highs, the lows, and everything in between.

So whether you're out for a run, driving to your next race, or just hanging out, thanks for joining us.

This is Tails on the Towpath.

Let's get started.

20 minutes, 19 minutes, 40 seconds, 19 minutes, 20 seconds.

Every lap gets faster and eventually somebody doesn't make it back.

This isn't your typical race.

There's no finish line waiting for you at mile 26.2. There's no set distance.

There's just a clock and the person standing next to you.

What does it take to be the last person standing at the final countdown tribute? Chris and Katie, welcome back to the next episode of Tales on the Towpath.

Today's episode is going to be about the final countdown, which is on September 19th at Amani Brewing.

I think this is going to be a good episode.

It's going to be very informative for the people that are running the final countdown.

Hopefully, if people are listening...

And they like the concept.

They like the idea.

They'll go and sign up for the race.

But it has been called the like adult version of the Pacer test that we took in elementary school or high school.

So it's a really cool concept of a race.

And we're going to jump into some of that stuff in just a little bit.
