Welcome to the Legend of the Death Race Podcast, where you’ll hear the legends of past Death Racers, new and old.

This week's podcast features the father of all death racers, 2007 Inaugural Winner Doug Lewis. Doug, was an Olympic medalist in skiing who went into the Death Race expecting little more than a quick trail run on that fateful day 13 years ago. Fast forward through race history and we find that the roots of the Death Race continue to share many common themes today. Values including willingness, uncertainty, and the drive to overcome any obstacle in the path. I hope you enjoy this unbelievable story of the first-ever Death Race.

Welcome to the Legend of the Death Race Podcast, where you’ll hear the legends of past Death Racers, new and old.

In the thirty-fifth episode of the podcast, we connect with one of the latest generations of Death Racer, Ashley Alarcon who competed in the 2019 Death Race. Previously a belly dancer, Ashley takes us on her interesting journey to the 2019 Death Race. From failing her first Spartan Race to competing in a Death Race, it took time to develop the confidence and courage to sign up, but once she had it, she was in it. We discuss the importance of teamwork even when you're not explicitly told to work as a team, how friends can help with accountability, and you'll also hear about some very interesting hallucinations, some of which we've heard similar tales of on previous episodes. Listen to Ashley's mindset for tackling new challenges and thanks for tuning in, enjoy the show!

Welcome to the Legend of the Death Race Podcast, where you’ll hear the legends of past Death Racers, new and old.

On this week’s legend, we meet Marine Corps Major Maggie Seymour. In 2014 Maggie’s military experience had already taught her how to play the Death Race game; go hard, get out of your head, hack the system. And yet something went awry in 2014. Unphased, she carried on with life until a familiar friend suggested giving Death Race another shot. Listen as she recalls how those three days finally gave her the Death Race experience she had been looking for.
