TRT 50-mile Race Report
By Bri Jaskot I’m someone who likes to go somewhere new to race. My logic – if I’m going to be putting my body through some pain & suffering, I may as well see some new and beautiful things along the way. Having quit my job last October, I decided to keep some of my […]

California International Marathon 2021: A Return to Racing
Race Report by Christie Jackson CIM was a wonderful reminder that I really love racing. Unfortunately, I have only felt mildly prepared for the few races I have entered during the past 6 years. Between starting a business, growing and giving birth to two babies, Covid and poor air quality, running has been more of […]
Run to the Sun Race Report
By Bri Jaskot I first heard of Run to the Sun, back in 2011, when I was in college, at the University of Hawaii, on O’ahu. My co-worker at Starbucks told me about it and then proceeded to tell me that he had won the race a couple of years in a row. At the […]
Castle Peak 100K Race Report- Meggie Inouye
I awoke extra early on race morning to check the Air Quality Index and was pleased to find a number under 150. Smokey air was coming from wildfires from the north and the south putting the race at jeopardy. Favorable winds meant that 2021 Castle Peak 100k would run. The Castle Peak 100k course starts […]
