What Is the "We Run This Town" Podcast from Gulfwinds About?
Updated
"We Run This Town" is Gulfwinds' (GWTC's) own podcast, hosted by volunteer Mickey Moore, that interviews local runners, coaches, and triathletes about their experiences in the Tallahassee running community. Episodes are announced on the gulfwinds.org news feed, where each post summarizes the guest and topic and links to the episode. If you follow GWTC's news page, you'll see new episodes appear alongside race announcements and club updates.
What the podcast covers
Each episode centers on a conversation with people connected to the local running scene rather than on race logistics or training plans. The news posts show the range of subjects:
- Cross country coaching — "More Than Miles – Three Coaches on the Journey of Cross Country" features three experienced Big Bend middle and high school cross-country coaches discussing the full cross-country experience, including building relationships with athletes.
- Multisport and family — "Family Ties to Family Tris" (Episode 11) features Clement Allen and his daughter Jamila Allen, a father-daughter triathlon duo, talking about the journey they've shared.
- Local race history — "50 Years of Tradition – the Turkey Trot Story" marks the 50th Tallahassee Turkey Trot, with Moore giving an inside look at how the event has changed since the first race in 1976.
A recurring thread is the people behind the races: coaches, families, and longtime participants, rather than elite performance advice.
Who hosts it and who appears
Moore is described consistently as the volunteer host across episodes. Guests so far have been local figures — high school and middle school coaches in the Big Bend area, and amateur multisport athletes — rather than national names. That makes the podcast a way to hear from the same community that puts on GWTC's road and trail races.
How to find and listen
The site's news section is the entry point: episode announcements appear as news posts with a title, date, a short description, and a "read more" link. From there you reach the full post and the episode itself. Because new episodes are mixed in with race results, president's columns, and event notices, scanning the news feed periodically is the practical way to catch them. The most recent posts listed at the time of writing run from July through September 2026, so the feed is active.
What it is not
The podcast is not a training program, a race calendar, or a membership requirement. If you want schedules and sign-ups, GWTC's race calendar and volunteer listings are separate parts of the site. "We Run This Town" is best treated as background and storytelling — useful if you want context on local races like the Turkey Trot or the Tallahassee Marathon, or if you're curious how the area's coaches and athletes think about the sport.
