We think it’s fair to say that runners are pretty darned good people. As a group, they’re generous with their time, their knowledge, their finances, and all that.

Today’s guest on the Running Around Charlotte podcast embodies all of that. His instragram is wall-to-wall pics of running. Whether it’s racing, running, pacing, or volunteering at events… it seems like it would be pretty hard to be out there and NOT run into Jesus DeLatorre.

And, we’ve got him on the program today with us on the Running Around Charlotte podcast.
