    About

    Lace up your sneakers, grab your favorite headband, and toe the starting line! The signal has fired and the “Back of the Pack Podcast” is up and running! Are you a fan of running 5k’s just because the finisher medal looks cool? You are not alone there! Join the show that is all about the race swag and running on a Saturday morning to get the most out of your race registration. We will talk about local races in the Kansas City area. We will give you a heads up if you’re wanting to go farther outside the area to run the big races. Host Kyle Walker has fourteen full marathons, over eighty half marathons, and hundreds of 5k’s and 10k's. Take it from us, you are among friends here if you’ve gotten to the finish line to find all the bananas gone!

    This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast: Second Wind, we take a brief look ahead to this weekend's Hospital Hill Half Marathon before diving into a heartfelt conversation about the behind-the-scenes reality of podcast creation. We open up about the costs, time, and passion that go into bringing you twice-weekly episodes, and introduce you to our Patreon community at patreon.com/TheBackofthePackPodcast where listeners can directly support the show's growth and sustainability. We share our genuine appreciation for the 17 incredible supporters who've already joined our mission, while explaining how Patreon benefits both creators and the running community we've built together. From exclusive content to the unique rewards we offer our patrons, we break down exactly how these monthly contributions help us invest in better equipment, expanded coverage, and more engaging content for the entire back-of-the-pack family. We even share our ambitious (and slightly ridiculous) goal of reaching $550 monthly support – complete with Kyle's promise of a half marathon in a nightgown if we ever hit that milestone! Whether you're curious about supporting your favorite podcasts, interested in the business side of content creation, or simply want to understand how small contributions can make a massive difference in keeping independent media thriving, this candid conversation shows our appreciation for every listener who makes this community possible.
