Ross and Petar's Pod on the Run

by Ross Field and Petar Milardovich

What happens when two buddies hit 42 and decide to celebrate with 42 kilometers? The Birth-K sparked something extraordinary, and now Ross and Petar are here to reflect on their journey—mud, memories, and all—while exploring the heartbeat of Chico’s running culture. Whether you’re here for the behind-the-scenes tales, the spirited banter (serious runners? not really...), or the chance to meet the incredible people pounding the trails and roads of Chico, this podcast is your go-to for all things running—and a lot of things not running. From the history of the running community to favorite routes, future challenges, and even the big existential question, “Why do we even run?”, Ross and Petar serve up insights, laughs, and plenty of moments where things didn’t go quite as planned. And speaking of incredible people: Chico’s running community is fueled by local legends, inspiring everyday athletes, and fantastic organizations like Fleet Feet Chico and the Bidwell Run Club. These groups offer camaraderie, unforgettable events, and shared experiences that embody the true heart and soul of Chico's running scene. Ross and Petar will spotlight these organizations, their impact, and the runners who keep the miles (and smiles) going strong. Birth-K may be where it started, but it’s far from where this journey ends. So, lace up, press play, and let’s run this thing—figuratively, of course. Because sometimes life is about more than just the miles…it’s about the memories.
