Stomp's complete House/Progressive set from White Mountain Endurance & Aravaipa Running's '2023 Race the Cog' event. This EDM set includes actual audio from the event, including the pre-race briefing, comments from Delta Dental's Tom Raffio and interviews with this year's top finishers, Joseph Gray, Amber Ferreira and Eric Blake (time stamps below).
Be sure to check out 'Stories From the Starting Line,' a book co-authored by Tom Raffio, Ellen Raffio, with Erica Alison Cohen. Proceeds from the book go to Northeast Delta Dental Oral Health Foundation to improve access to dental care and also to the Tom Walton scholardship fund.
Stories From the Starting Line
Stories From the Starting Line: 'There are
people who run occasionally or run as part of another sport, and
there are people who need to run for their mental wellbeing. Tom
Raffio and Ellen Raffio address the latter group in Stories from the Starting Line. The couple,
who met running, runs more than 100 races a year in New Hampshire
and Northern New England and uses this depth of experience to write
about the diverse runners they meet at races.
The runners who share their stories are parents running pushing
jogging strollers, men and women still running strong in their
seventies, women who had to fight for their right to run,
professional runners chasing wins and many more just looking for an
adventure on their feet. Tom and Ellen talk with runners including
1984 Olympic Marathon Winner Joan Benoit Samuelson; Jacqueline
Gareau, the real winner of the controversial 1980 Boston Marathon;
and elite mountain runner Joseph Gray along with dozens of
others.
The bookincludes runners of all ages and abilities who run all
kinds of distances and terrain from 5Ks on the road to marathons,
ultramarathons and triathlons. It highlights the nationally
recognized Delta Dental Mount Washington Road Race, a 7.6 mile race
up the auto road to the Mount Washington Summit in Northern New
Hampshire, along with the numerous local road races that both raise
money for charity and bring area runners together to do what they
love. This includes the story of Millennium Running, a New
Hampshire running events company that reimagined road racing so
that when COVID-19 hit, the races could go on, which was not the
case in most of the country. All these stories, and more, are part
of Stories from the Starting
Line.'
