We'll have a short run with Kyle and Chris before the meeting at 6PM. Of course, food and drink will be provided.
CITIUS MAG is an online sports media outlet focused on track and field, producing news, race analysis, athlete interviews, podcasts, videos, and social media content for fans of running. It was founded in 2016 by Chris Chavez and aims to make following the sport “easier and more fun” for fans.
CITIUS MAG became influential because it arrived at a moment when track & field had very little consistent, modern media coverage. Traditional outlets covered the sport sporadically, leaving a big gap that CITIUS MAG filled with daily, personality-driven, internet-native coverage.
On their podcasts, they have interviewed the full gamut of track and distance running professionals. Chris has book coming out next year about the marathon - a deep dive into its greatest moments, the legends who redefined what’s possible, and the lessons we can all learn along the way.
Chris Chavez loves track & field. That’s why he launched CITIUS MAG as a passion project in 2016 while writing and editing full-time for Sports Illustrated. Over the ensuing five years, Chris got to cover the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, honed his reporting chops, and grew a humble blog into a slightly less humble multi-pronged media company. In 2021, he made CITIUS MAG his full-time pursuit.
Kyle Merber was a professional runner through 2021. After hanging up his spikes – but never his running shoes – Kyle pivoted to the media side of things, where he shares his enthusiasm and knowledge for CITIUS MAG.
