Speakers
Over Radix's short history we have had some of the most amazing speakers that the sport has to offer. We've had everyone from Olympians to the Greatest High School Coach of all time come and talk to our campers. Everyone has their own story and year after year we find people that help educate, inspire, and lead the next generation of great runners!
