Have you ever gotten lost during a race? How about a 5K? Don't let this 5K deceive you, the Mt. Mountain Race, held in Seward, Alaska, is the one of the TOUGHEST (and longest ran) races out there. Despite the short mileage it covers steep terrain that's hard for even the most seasoned runners.

In 2012, Michael LeMaitre started the race, but failed to finish it as he vanished without a trace after reaching the mid-point turnaround point. So what happened to Michael? Where is his body? Josh and Blu share this disturbing ... yet captivating ... story of the 2012 Mt. Mountain Race.

Running for our health and wellness is AWESOME, but have you ever run for someone else? Whether it's someone who's passed away, can't anymore or simply someone you want to honor? This past week both Josh and Blu have had the opportunity to experience those emotions.

Listen as Josh talks about running for friends and family during the Revel Big Cottonwood race and Blu during the Addict II Athlete Proxy 5K. We're talking about some seriously heavy and touching stuff.

We've all had bad races. But, have you ever had a race worse than the 1904 Olympic Marathon? Of the 32 men that lined up at the starting line only 14 would finish. Many dropped out due to severe dehydration, some ate rotten apples along the way, took a nap or even took RAT POISION to help get them over the finish line.

This story is INSANE so Josh and Blu are here to tell it to you! Listen now!
