Race Report: Yankee Springs Trail Run (Double Marathon)

Let me just start by saying, the Yankee Springs Trail Run weekend is amazing expression of the West Michigan trail running community. I feel lucky and grateful to live in a place with a great trail running community. I'll be back next year to run or volunteer or both.

You should definitely join me next year! You can run 1, 2, or even 3 races over the weekend; Friday = 10k; Saturday = full-marathon, double-marathon, quad-marathon; Sunday = half-marathon. We didn't camp out at Yankee Springs this year, but likely will next year...

Race Report: IT100 (50 Mile)

“Do you have restaurants that deliver to the hotel?"

“Were you running today?"

“Yep, I just ran the 50 miler..."

“wow, I got tired after 30 minutes on the elliptical yesterday!”

It was less than two years ago that I started running and had never run more than a 5k...here is the journey to my first 50 mile race.

Race Report: Kal-Haven Trail Run

On April 9, 2016 I ran the Kal-Haven Trail Run for the first time. The race is a 33.4 mile (although it's really 33.9 because of a revised finish line) from Kalamazoo, MI to South Haven, MI. As a reclaimed rails-to-trails route, the course is pretty much straight and flat.
