Long Haul 100: January 18th-19th 2025
My race recap of the Long Haul 100—100 miles of highs, lows, blisters, and a whole lot of grit. From tough night miles to the final push at sunrise, here’s how it all went down, plus a shoutout to the awesome people who made this race unforgettable.
2025 Long Haul 100
My race report for the Long Haul 100—a challenging 100-mile trail race in Florida. From strategy shifts to unexpected hurdles, find out how I pushed through to earn my sub-24-hour buckle and Western States qualifier at this well-known ultramarathon.
2024 Grand-Further Mountain 25k
The Grand-Further Mountain Run is roughly 25km on 99% singletrack that takes you up and over Grandfather Mountain 2 times. The only part of the course that’s not singletrack is the first 0.15 miles of uphill road running. So, naturally, many people start out running pretty hard with the goal of reaching the singletrack before the rest of the field and avoiding getting trapped in a position that could potentially hold them back.
2024 Sugg Farm Ultra
It was time to explore trail running and Ultra distances. I researched local races and stumbled upon the Sugg. I saw that they had a 20-40-50 mile option, so I went all in and I couldn’t wait for January 1st to sign up. I may have been one of the first ones to do so. I was in for the 50 miler. I started training right away.
Tahoe 200 (2024)
After getting figuratively “punched in the mouth” by the altitude on Day 1, I put my big boy pants on and got back to work with a solid crew. Heading out of Heavenly, it was Jason, Tori, Robyn, and I with a few others heading towards Spooner Summit.
2024 Lake Sonoma 50
The Lake Sonoma 50 has the nickname “Relentless” because the hills never stop. The only thing more relentless than the hills this time out was the mud.
