Buck Rogers was at a Little League game with his family when another parent made a comment about his son, his reaction to that comment made him stop and think about his life. He was overweight and didn't exercise, and he just wasn't happy. With the help of a Doctor he lost 70 pounds and started running, and with the help of his local running community he became addicted.

He would find ways to continue to push himself with longer and longer distances and then he found the Yeti Trail Runner's new race, "The Canebrake 200" and decided to give it a go. If there was ever a perfect race day, or in this case days, Buck seemed to have captured it and would finish first man, second overall.

Buck is proof that you don't have to be a professional runner, fast, or even someone who has ran their whole life to see success. You just need to be tough and work hard.
