Armitage named RRCA Volunteer of the Year

Jason Armitage is the type of person who does things because he feels that it is the right thing to do.
He has volunteered time helping out with races across the area, and he also helps out the cross country and track and field programs at Lake Hamilton — either with setting up races or giving his own version of play-by-play of the top runners at the state cross country meet at Oaklawn.
While he may feel he is just doing the right thing, others see it as going above and beyond, and because of his volunteer work, the Road Runners Club of America recently named him the 2021 National Outstanding Volunteer of the Year.
James Leigh recently spoke with Armitage about how he got into running, how he got involved with the Spa Pacers and what this award means to him and this community. He also talked about how others who might be interested in running could get started.
