Dakota ran a CR setting time at the Javelina Jundred in 2022 running 12:58:02 for 100 miles in the delightfully devilish Arizona desert. That's 7:41/mile pace!!!!!!

Here he talks with Corinne and Russell about how the day went for him, tips for others racing, the competitive games (or lack thereof) on race day, his motivations for taking the start line, why he wore a costume, and what it's like to now be part of team Nnormal, how the heck you pronounce Kjerag and what his goals are for the Footprints camp which he founded 4 years ago!

It was a jearty conversation with one of the all time greats in our sport both on and off the trails. Thanks Dakota!

Nicole has been running ultras since 2012 and Leadville was her 2nd hundred back in 2013. She returns this year to see what she can do on the course, more than a decade later. We love Nicole's vivacious spirit and gusto to go after the courses and challenges that inspire her, regardless of the outcome.

We are excited for Nicole to tackle The Race Across The Sky and hope that the watch (she doesn't wear) reads course PR when she runs down that red carpet next week.
