Hello, and welcome to the very first post of Race Director Daily, a new blog and communication hub for The Buck Fifty.
My name is William Presson, and I serve as the Director of Development & Digital Strategy for The Buck Fifty. I’ve been part of this event since its inaugural year in 2017, and over the years I’ve had the privilege of watching it grow from an idea into a race that brings together runners, volunteers, sponsors, schools, and entire communities across southern Ohio.
Why Race Director Daily?
Race Director Daily is designed to give you a direct line to the people behind the scenes of The Buck Fifty.
We’ll be posting here regularly, and the primary voices you’ll hear from are myself and Dave Huggins, our Race Director. Together, we’ll use this space to share timely, important, and sometimes behind-the-curtain insights into what it takes to put on The Buck Fifty each year.
What You Can Expect
This blog will cover a wide range of topics, including:
Detailed breakdowns of race legs
Course updates or changes you need to know about
Important reminders and things to keep in mind for race day
General race and organizational updates
Stories, motivation, and life lessons we’ve learned through years of planning, running, problem-solving, and serving our mission
Some posts will be practical and informational. Others may be reflective, motivational, or simply stories we think are worth sharing.
Your Go-To Source for Information
Aside from our Facebook page, Race Director Daily will serve as the primary source of official information for The Buck Fifty and our organization. If you want accurate updates, context behind decisions, or insight into what’s coming next—this is where you’ll find it.
Whether you’re a first-time runner, a returning team captain, a volunteer, a sponsor, or someone who simply believes in our mission, we’re glad you’re here.
Thanks for being part of The Buck Fifty community. We’re excited to share more with you soon.
