A Conversation with 3 B.R.U.T.E.S. Challenge Finishers

The Blue Ridge Ultra Trail Endurance Slam B.R.U.T.E.S. Challenge, is a tough series of five 100k+ mountain runs in the Southeast that one must complete within 365 days. This conversation is with three 2023 finishers; Cera Jones, Nick Schuster, & Josh Nunez. We could have gone on for hours as there is just so much to share about these 3 people and what it took to finish the challenge! Thanks to each of them for sharing their time & their stories!
