On this episode of Behind the Bib, I’m hanging out with David Whitehead from Rocket City Runners, one of Huntsville’s most welcoming, no-ego, all-are-welcome run clubs. We talk about how Rocket City Runners grew into the community it is today, what makes their crew feel more like a family than a fitness group, and why showing up matters just as much as how fast you go.
We also dig into their upcoming We Run, We Finish 5K — a race built on the idea that every runner deserves a finish-line moment, whether you’re sprinting, jogging, walking, or doing a little of all three. It’s a celebration of consistency, courage, and community… which, honestly, feels very on-brand for this run club.
If you’ve ever wanted a run club that meets you where you are and cheers like you just won Rocket City Marathon, this one’s for you.
