Quotes by Ryan Lamppa

“I have not heard of anything like this, where every finisher in a marathon receives a pair of shoes. Its a novel, innovative idea. The shoe give-away should boost the percentage of finishers.”

“Boulder, and the Denver area, is a running paradise, and there is no reason you cannot have two more marathons. I think this reflects a trend. Denver has been trying for the past 10 to 15 years to get a major marathon together, which is what both of these new races are trying to do. We will see if the Denver metro area can support two marathons.”

“The same thing could happen here. These new marathons may turn out to be helping everybody.”
