Before we get into the race and event updates, we take a moment to remember TDZ Guest #2 Shelley Johannesson. Her loss has been a tremendous blow for our community, and TDZ wanted to join the community in honoring her and who she was.
We then turn to Jason’s Adventure Bash, June 13th in Columbia, South Carolina, a race that Jason Schmidt designed himself before he passed away this past winter. His wife Liz made sure it’s happening. Two formats, beginner to advanced, and 50% of proceeds go directly to a college fund for Jason’s three kids. If you want a race that means something, this is the one.
Ascend Athletics’ Hike For Her goes global May 30th, one day, one trail, one mission connecting women and girls from Afghanistan and Pakistan to wherever you’re lacing up. Get involved at the link below
And come late June, the keys to this feed are getting handed over to Rootstock Racing while we’re out racing the 5-day Endless Mountains. Rootstock is producing an in-race podcast, dropping episodes right here while we’re still on course. We’re happy to give RR this platform, and this episode captures the spirit of The Endless Mountains Adventure Race.
Thanks for being here for this unique episode of TDZ.
