In this episode of Endurance State of Mind, we sit down with Mississippi running legend and race director Tim Irvine. From blazing 5Ks in the deep South with a 15:09 PR to crafting some of the most thoughtfully designed trail races in the region, Tim shares his journey through decades of endurance sport. He opens up about early inspirations, the discipline behind sub-5 minute training paces, and how running helped him overcome personal challenges—including life with alopecia.
We also dig into the behind-the-scenes world of race directing, what sets his “Circle of the Dragon” event apart, and why attention to detail makes or breaks a great race day. Whether you’re an athlete, a coach, or someone dreaming of your first 5K, this one is packed with passion, wisdom, and a few surprise laughs.
