Around the Crown Outdoor 10K with Founder Brian Mister [EP 396]

Welcome to Episode 396 of The Outdoor Biz Podcast and my conversation with Around the Crown 10K Founder Brian Mister. Have you ever been stuck in traffic on the highway and thought to yourself, “I could run faster than this”? This idea is exactly how Around the Crown 10K got its start. Brian is here to tell us all about it.

Advice for someone wanting to start a race or get into running?

I think starting early. I mean if you feel the passion that you want to be in it, get your hands dirty and get in the industry however you can. If you stay focused on what you're doing, it'll all fall into place for you.

Work your way into it. Suppose it's race directing, entrepreneurship, and starting your own business, the same advice. Do it. Just shoot your shot and see what happens.

Other Outdoor Activities

We Love camping, and the kids are into it.

I've been building a treehouse for my kids.

Favorite Books

Right now, I'm reading  Running With Purpose. It’s by the CEO of Brooks, Jim Weber

Chip and Joanna Gaines have some pretty hilarious books on parenting and fixing up houses and just kind of different, different ways to live life.

Best Gear Purchase under $100

The thing that I really love that I have to have when I go running is a hat. And we get our hats from BOCO, which stands for Boulder, Colorado.

Here's number two for me. And this is in the camping world. I always like to have one thing with me that's my luxury piece. Maybe I'm bringing a nice chair with me or something cause I'm car camping. But the go-to for me recently has been no matter like what type of camping I'm doing, I got one of those inflatable Sea to Summit pillows.
