Season 7, Episode 15: Meet the Spanish man determined to run the length of Route 66
Description
Get ready for an inspiring and one-of-a-kind conversation on the Oklahoma Today Show as we welcome our first-ever international guest, Enric Casacuberta of Catalonia, Spain. Enric is taking on an extraordinary challenge—running the entire length of historic Route 66 over five months—not just for the adventure, but to honor a friend he lost to ALS and to raise awareness and funds for a devastating disease. Recently named an Official Route 66 Centennial Project, “Running for ALS” blends personal purpose with a deep love for one of America’s most iconic highways, all while supporting local communities along the route. In this interview, Enric shares the emotional story behind his journey, what Route 66 means to him, and how this ambitious run aims to make a real difference.
Also on this week's episode, the editors ponder on what other aspects of Oklahoma culture they hope we are still celebrating 100 years from now, and podvents gets us partying like it's 1889. You won't want to miss it!
