  • In 2021, in his first 100-mile race, Adrian Macdonald won the Leadville 100. Known as one of America's most gruelling races, "The Race Across The Sky" takes athletes through the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Runners climb and descend 15,600 feet (4,800 m), with elevations ranging between 9,200-12,620 feet.
    In 2021, Adrian clocked a time of 16:18:19 - the sixth-fastest in the race's 40-year history. In 2022 he was back to chase more glory and take a shot at the course record.

    Imagine winning the Leadville 100 and thinking “I wonder if I belong” goes to show that no matter where we are on our own journey, our peers have the same self doubt and we can all overcome and continue to become better athletes and people. ❤️

      @@On-Running Yeah, they don't make the documentary explicitly about the shoe, but of course it's still there. This is a tasteful and rich way to do it. Perhaps it shows what kind of company it is.

    That’s pretty douchey and pretentious to say 100 miles is the only relevant distance in the sport. There’s different strokes for different folks, there are shorter races with more extreme terrain that he wouldn’t be able to compete against the the top people in that style, his chicken legs wouldn’t hold up.
