Quick update this week, @Challengers, since I’ve been busy with Trackapalooza yesterday and today.
One major new completion this week—congrats to Dennis Stadelman for finishing his full 44-course Personal Challenge! We’ve all enjoyed reading Dennis’s exploits, and I hope he’ll continue to visit and report on future Challenge runs for the rest of the year.
Also this week, Steve Desmond picked a rainy day for his Tough Trail Challenge but completed it with aplomb, our first finisher for that Ultra Challenge. And yes, there are more road-like sections in the Tough Trail Challenge this year, so it’s not as gnarly as in past years. Who will tackle an Ultra Challenge next?
If you’re looking for company on the Sights of the Heights course, come to Diana Hackett’s group run tomorrow at 8:30 and stay for the post-run party! I’ll have the Challenge shirts there, so it’s a good chance to pick yours up.
And we can’t celebrate Dennis’s Personal Challenge completion without the obligatory ice cream shot from his last course!
And when you’re covering the ground this weekend, know that you’ll be helping propel us past 10,000 miles for the year!
