Great behind the scenes video. I need to volunteer more often. We runners appreciate all you RDs do for us.

[@ianhurley9567]

Had an awesome time running the 100k. Thanks to Jamil, your team and all the volunteers!!

[@run.wander.wonder.648]

Crushing it man!! I'm so stoked to see videos again!!

[@ToddChandler]

The race was awesome! Thanks for hosting such a great event.

[@PoetWithPace]

Thank you for showing us from a different perspective. Always an eye opener. I remember being invited on lead car for a big city marathon and seeing what happens behind the scenes. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@themarkedone715]

Love the work you're doing, keep it up!!

[@jamestaylor574]

Love this video! Great to see what goes on in prep for the race. Nice one Jam Jam. 🏃💪👍

[@TrailRunningWales]

Great video Jam Jam. So glad you brought back the classic intro music 🎶

[@runningstories4791]

Love your videos thanks for sharing

[@joshuastree]

Love the insight. Good vid!

[@FreeRangeMiller]

Thanks for all that you and Aravaipa team do! I really enjoyed the race.

[@TMRCoaching]

Thanks for sharing. Interesting to see the other side of a race.

[@kirktrujillo8982]

Awesome job. A huge thank you to you and your team. The aid stations and volunteers got me to the finish line. BCT100 was a great experience thanks to y’all. Much love.

[@districtsoul]

Very cool to see the behind the scenes view of what goes on to get a race setup.

[@bengtsall]

Thank`s for sharing . It`s awesome . Keep up the good work :)

[@kathleenbaschen2215]

Love this! MUST run Black Canyon next year 👍👍

[@TheFODRunner]

Really insightful, great video! So much more goes into putting on a race than people think!

[@Pathcrx1]

I love the RD video stuff. I'm a newbie RD, so it's cool seeing the working from a novice.

[@TheOriginalEntz]

Great vid ! Had no idea you organized running events ! PS your skin is looking really vibrant in this video :)

[@DOdermdoc]

Thanks for the video - very cool! I had several friends that ran Black Canyon and said how great it was. Looking forward to Whiskey Basin on April!

[@seans7513]

I am looking forward to going out west for my first dessert ultra at Black Canyon next year. Looks so much different from the east coast, got get out there and experience it.

[@Wolfman1250s]

Wow, a heap of work goes into a well run event 👍🏻

[@bhushansuresh1708]

Great video:) Hope your ankle is better!

[@edward_dantonio]

Thanks for making this video. I signed for BC 60K this coming February so I am looking forward to seeing your course.

[@rocketrunner4381]

Interesting video. Thanks for sharing

[@SkepticalZack]

Looks like an awesome race!

[@ForTheLoveOfRunning]

Black Canyon is a dream for me someday--thinking about it for my first 100K!

[@runsteepgethigh]

Awesome!

[@FordyRuns]

Wow epic video nicely done! Love Arizona

[@JoelWalters]

Very cool! I've hosted a couple small, free events myself and I know how much work goes into these things. I've been thinking about hosting a stair climbing event with about 6,000 feet of elevation gain. Sounds crazy, but it's a easier to organize events when you don't have to drive a 4x4 to set up aid stations. :)

[@bezvystupov]

Hello, JamJam! I finished translation of subtitles into Russian. So that they appeared I ask you to do the following: CREATOR STUDIO --> TRANSLATUONS&TRANSCRIPIONS --> To the right of the video "Day In The Life Of A Race Director & Ultra Runner" --> Review --> Published Thank you! Have a nice day!

[@mikamurphy4210]

Great insight in your day! Question, noticed the ketcup bottle at the end the video, is that a new training item for you? As seen in with Gary in Where Dreams Go To Die. Your awesome!

[@BlackshawClan]

Looks great. Maybe next year for me

[@tmfjones]

yay Raul!

[@seoulcycleseoulcycle4133]

Get some tracks for your truck when you go remote places..mud etc no proble ^^ Saw your vid will doing research for making races for rok run - trail run -

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

This is awesome, thanks for putting it together and posting! I heard it was an awesome race!!

[@runsteepgethigh]

Thanks Ryan. Working on an edit of behind the scenes race day for release later this weekend!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Run Steep TV Ooooo!!!

[@alpinereviews]

Which GoPro mount would you recommend for a guy that just wants to record a run every now and then, The chest or head mount?

[@TrialsProgression]

This was perfect! Love the new series, day in the life of RD. Perfect use for chest harness, be a vlogger but also helpful in set up. "GoPro start recording" mint idea. Footage was not too shaky at that speed. Loved the mix of music B roll and talking us through what was happening. No more Enzo (name?) Editing for ya?

[@runsteepgethigh]

Enzo does edit. I’m just checking things over and finalizing each video & thumbnail.

[@TrialsProgression]

Run Steep TV what a blessing that is to have someone helping with those edits

[@TrialsProgression]

You have a great team out there helping ya. Maybe an episode on who all is on your team/employees and what all those 30 do for you... Just a thought 😉

[@christopheredwards7330]

Jam, how do you determine the amount of water/other liquids you need at aid stations?

[@TasteMehCookie]

Great video JamJam. Do you get to all 30 races that Aravaipa organise, or is that not feasible?

[@runsteepgethigh]

I am at almost all of them. I only miss a couple per year usually when I’m doing an event myself that conflicts.

[@bezvystupov]

Hello, Jamil! Please enable on this video the ability to add subtitles. I want translate this for Russian language. CREATOR STUDIO DASHBOARD Edit Subtitles/CC Community contributions: Off Turn on Turn On Thank you!

[@runsteepgethigh]

Done!

[@bezvystupov]

Hi, JamJam! Subtitles are ready. Approve it. Thank you :).

[@CRneu]

i should be out there :(

[@erikspiegeler6810]

Jamil you growing the beard back?

[@runsteepgethigh]

Nah

[@robertbrooks01]

He's gonna shave in the next video

[@Lion_McLionhead]

Upgrade to jalapeno ketchup. It's the best.
