Following the passing of a good friend at the age of 15, Jake Rastas made a promise that his life would not be wasted. And he has kept that promise. After hanging up his college jersey as a D1 football player, Jake turned to ultras in 2022 as a way to keep his edge and find strength through adversity. And he is inspiring others to do the same. 

We are so impressed with his mindset, his determination, and his passion for using his running to combat the men's mental health epidemic. And we are pretty sure you will be too. So take us for your long run and hear Jake's full story of turning into an animal and hunting other runners on the trail. 🤣 Be sure to follow Jake on Instagram and check out his Movember support page HERE.  Enjoy the episode!
