Episode 88: Race Spotlight - Rocky Raccoon 100

Our mission is to help you take your next step on your ultra running journey. And, sometimes, if you are like us, you may not know what that next step may look like. On the show we are taking a look at the Rocky Raccoon 100 which takes place in Huntsville Texas on the weekend of Feb 3rd and 4th. According to the website, the Rocky Raccoon 100 is "Known as the perfect trail running course for veteran runners wanting a 100mile P.R., as well as the perfect race for rookie ultra runners wanting a good setup to accomplish their goal. Expect frequent and incredible (known around the world) aid station support all day and night.  Generous cut-offs.  A fun atmosphere for family, friends, and awaiting crew members with 5 x 20 mile beautiful loops around the lake, over wooden bridges, and through towering East Texas trees.  Gently undulating trails on a bed of pine needles." The race is a Western states qualifier and runners have 30 hours to complete. Join us as we sit down with PJ Izaguirre, Assistant Race Director for the Rocky Raccoon 100.
