Since 1990, Bob Babbitt, a USA Triathlon and Ironman Hall of Fame inductee, has been hosting a highly-acclaimed radio program and podcast showcasing the world’s best runners, triathletes, and cyclists - first with The Competitors and now with his new show, Babbittville Radio. These are long-form interviews, and over the years, endurance athletes have enjoyed downloading and listening to insightful and entertaining conversations with legendary athletes like cyclist Greg LeMond, triathlete Paula Newby-Fraser, or runner Meb Keflezighi while they are out running, cycling, swimming, or working out in the gym.

Babbitt has always been a big believer in the life-lessons we all learn through endurance sports and, besides interviewing endurance sports legends, there are also interviews with incredibly motivational and inspirational athletes along with a diversified mix of conversations with the best coaches, race directors, journalists, sports scientists, and authors.

Joe DeSena, Founder of Spartan Race

13 APR 2020 · A few weeks back the founder of Spartan Race, Joe DeSena, called me. Covid-19 was wrecking havoc with the world of endurance sports and he was hoping to put a coalition of endurance sports leaders together to see if they could combine forces to get some government support for an industry that has been devastated by the Pandemic. I reached out to Rich Harshbarger at Running USA and Rocky Harris at USA Triathlon to get the ball rolling and things have been moving at warp speed ever since. Joe came on the show to chat about the creation of the Endurance Sports Coalition which represents over 475 organizations, 50,000 events and 30 million Americans.
