[svt-event title=”Tuna 200″ date=”November 2015″ class=”svt-cd-blue” ]
The Tuna Run is a race from Raleigh to the east coast. The 200 mile route is for a team of 16, and yes, I ran it as a single person team. I only made it 105 miles after traversing a lot of the course that was washed out, but we raised over $10,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project.

[svt-event title=”Crewed for Ashby” date=”November 2014″ class=”svt-cd-red” ]
Ashby and I met through a mutual running friend who knew we were each planning to run the 203 mile Tuna Run. I was on Ashby’s crew and at one dark point we were both certain we saw a 20 foot rooster playing a banjo; and are fairly sure it was a hallucination. Ashby finished by setting a new course record for individual finishes.

Hinson is a 24 hour race for distance. It is a $24 entry fee and I challenge you to find entertainment at $1/hr; as long as you don’t mind running a 1.62 mile loop for the duration.
