T-Rex Race Recap! Also some Western States Talk | Episode 11507 Jul 202400:45:38

Send us a text

This week we ran a wonderful local race called the T-Rex 10 Miler and it was SO much fun. This race is old school and no frills but has tons of fun and plenty of swag. If you are in the West Michigan area on July 4th we would highly recommend this event. If 10 miles is too much you can run "The Wimpy" 6k race. So there is fun for everyone.

We also talk about a little about Western States and the lead in days to the race. Talk about amazing! Love this race and this is one you can go and enjoy even if you don't have an entry. Go volunteer and cheer and take in all that is Western States Endurance Run.
