In this fifth episode of On the Run, Ross and Petar go guest-free and gratitude-full as they recap recent race highlights—including Petar’s impressive podium finish in a 12K trail race in Lake Tahoe.

They also share their Top 5 Trails in Upper Bidwell Park, revealing personal favorites and hidden gems that keep their soles (and souls) grounded. Then, things get fun and a little competitive with a special “Local Runners Draft,” where Ross and Petar each build a dream team of Chico runners—not just for their speed or endurance, but for the heart, encouragement, and camaraderie they bring to every stride.

Plus, a heartfelt discussion on the five things they love most about running and how it continues to shape their minds, bodies, and spirits.

As always, we invite you to share your own race experiences and keep the conversation going.
