With Leo Schumaker and Friends
About The Host
I became involved with running on my High School Track Team in San Jose, CA. running sprints. I then took a few years off until the Olympic Torch went by in Santa Barbara, CA in 1984 and I realized that my weight at 250 pounds I want to run again. After a few weeks of getting my distance up I met Rod Dixon a runner and coach from New Zealand at my first 5k race who inspired us all. After running many races up to marathons I realized I was slowing down and felt the way to keep my hand in running is to start a running show on KCSB in Santa Barbara to inspire others and me interviewing many local runners, sports journalists and eventually expanding to famous runners including Rod Dixon, Dean Karnazes, Mark Allen, Jordan Hasay and more. That radio show became a TV show in Santa Barbara and now in Bellingham on BTV Channel 10 Sunday nights “Adventures with Leo Schumaker”. I still broadcast on KMRE 88.3 FM and look forward to helping our running passion connect with the community on “Running and Racing with Leo Schumaker and Friends”.
