We could not describe The Runcast better than Steve in Santa Rosa who says, "The music was an awesome match for a rural Sonoma County morning. The dappled light coming through a redwood grove was the start of a climb, when the tune playing hit an uplifting climbing beat. The music, the lifting fog and the serene setting was perfect."
