“Our webinars are just one piece of our industry-leading education programming, but if you haven’t had the chance to check out the Data Insight Series yet, you’re missing out,” said Christine Bowen, vice president of programming, partnerships and operations for Running USA. “Jeff does an exceptional job of focusing on hot topics and not only making them relatable, but really fun and entertaining too.”

“I agree with what Christine just said” Matlow commented. “We get so many questions about virtual runs, there appears to be a mystery about how to do it best.  I’m super excited to talk about how you can create value and engagement from participants you never even see.”
