2022 Grindstone 100 Race Report

September 21, 2022

This race has been on my bucket list for a while. I was originally signed up for the 2020 version, but well . . .COVID. One of the things that draws me to hundred mile races are the many different challenges you can expect to encounter along the way. I try to pick races that…

2022 Eastern States Race Report

August 17, 2022

Devil Dog 100 Mile Race Report

December 8, 2021

2021 Eastern States 100 Race Report

August 18, 2021

I guess the fourth time’s the charm as I had a simply incredible run this year. I was spotting rainbows and unicorns all over the course last weekend. I feel giving you the details of that run though may undersell the difficultly if this race. I’m sure the 49% of the field who dropped wouldn’t…
