More politicians who run (on foot)
Asheville TN Mayor Terry Bellamy is the latest elected official to take up the cause of running and fitness.
She's training for the Chamber Challenge 5k, hosted by the Asheville Chamber of Commerce.
Mayors, Governors, and other elected officials who run regularly are valuable allies for race directors. They attract publicity and are often in a position to cut through red tape in the permit application process.
Identify the political leaders in your community who run and get them involved in your race. It can turn it into a winning event.
