Rachel’s SCAR FKT
On Sunday, May 29th at 3:00AM I started at Fontana Dam and made my way north to Davenport Gap.

Caleb Bowen’s March Training Recap
March is always one of my favorite months of the year. I love it for a multitude of reasons. First, you get all sorts of fun weather. It could be snowing one day and then 70 degrees the next. It’s wild and I love it. Secondly, the first part of March is a break between the Indoor track and field season and the outdoor season
the Beautiful Bold Coast Bash
The Bold Coast Bash Cutler, Maine November https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONETXA31Dgg&t=2s The Bold Coast Bash may quite possibly be only slightly more technically challenging than finding a restaurant still open in November in Downeast Maine. This is one that I’ve been looking forward to since its formation in 2019. The course sounded beautiful, echoed in a few photos that the Bold Coast Runners tossed up in forming the event. So much, that
UberEndurance Sports: Naked Prussian
The Naked Prussian & German The Naked Prussian is an excellent representation of UberEndurance events. Its vibe is consistent with their slate of all-abilities-welcome Pennsylvania races. UberEndurance courses consist of flowy single-track with only mild elevation gain, and minimal technicality. This combination makes their events a really great environment for not only those just getting into trail running, but also opportunities for seasoned vets to
