- Welcome to Indiana’s first backyard ultra - the inaugural Grind on the Grid!
Grind on the Grid is an Ultramarathon footrace in Veedersburg, Indiana. It follows the format of the Backyard Ultra where the goal is to outlast all your competitors and be the last runner standing. The course is an out and back, with a short grass trail loop toward the end. The running surface is approximately 1/2 mile gravel, 1/2 mile grass, and 3.167 miles of road with gravel shoulders.
The running, filming, editing, all of the work that I put into this video is the cumulative result of a TON of training and practice. I'm NOT a videographer, professional runner, aspiring TH-camr, none of that. This is just a fun little hobby and I hope you enjoy going along on the adventure with me. Leave me a comment below with any questions about the race. Please share this video if you know someone interested in this race. I'd love to hear your suggestions for my next one.
I filmed this on my GoPro Hero 10 in 2.7k 60fps. I rendered it from Adobe Premiere with the same settings. It should look great on TH-cam on any of the 60fps settings, but it will look particularly good at 1440p. Set TH-cam to show the video at the highest quality and you won't be disappointed.

Man I have rewatched this video over a dozen times. It brings back so many memories of that day from meeting great friends and a terrible wind storm. Going to miss you at the event this year man. Thank you for such a good video to relive this day!
Love the line "I'm not quitting because of you, I'm quitting because I'm happy with what I have done" and in the end..that's all that matters. Other races, other goals. Great spending mile with you Josh!
Thanks John, great running with you too! You looked strong every time I saw you. And you're right, there will always be other races! I'd like to find my way back to Indiana again, I know the Indiana Trail 100 gets a lot of positive comments so its definitely on my list for the future
Great video and just know you made the correct call. Imagine if you press on and then you two get in an accident the following day trying to get home on zero sleep or worse, hurt someone else. The universe sent you a very loud and clear signal and you listened....most people don't. Well done bud! Keep on keeping on:)
Thanks, it was a crazy experience. We had a long drive back and definitely didn't need to take any unnecessary risks. I was really counting on my wife getting a good rest and that just didn't seem possible in that weather!
Great video...that day was brutal...I live about 30 miles from the course...thanks for giving such a good effort in those conditions!
Thanks Joe! It was my first time in Indiana and I have to say it was not what I expected!! Haha
There is nothing worse than having to quit because of gear. Tough break but probably right choice considering the factors.
Thanks John! Next time maybe I'll rent a cargo van haha
So I'm gonna try this race here in about a month. Quick question, is it totally self supported or do they have an aid station with water or food? Thanks.
Thats a good question. I dont remember them having very much there! I think its all self supported. They have a Facebook group, you might ask there. The organizers are super responsive!
Hey Josh! Just came across your channel and subscribed! I'll be checking out your "Conquer the Wall" video next.
Thanks Chad! I just checked out your channel and man I just want to say, I appreciate the amount of work you put into your channel. It definitely shows! I'm dying to get out to Colorado and see what your trails are like but in the meantime, keep posting videos so I can like vicariously through them haha 😄
@@joshkeckwv Thanks so much! That means a lot! Drop a comment on the videos you watch too. Let me know what you think. Keep up the amazing job and I'm looking forward to your next video!
tough break, whats next for you? Besides buying a Sprinter van
I have a few things on the fall schedule but still I'm still looking for at least one more race beforehand just to keep me motivated for the summer. I may run the Highball to Thurmond 50-mile in May. I have signed up for these races already, the first two being are local races in West Virginia:
August - Kanawha Trace 50k
September - Hurricane 100k
October - No Business 100
Always open for suggestions!
Hey mate I've just signed up for my first backyard ultra anything you learnt that might come in handy to know. Any tips or tricks?
That's awesome! I won't claim to be an expert but some of the things I thought were most helpful to me: Sit as much as you can. Eat in small increments and eat often. Stretch your legs frequently, the breaks between laps will lead them to locking up and getting stiff. Time goes by much faster when you make friends and chat with people. Most importantly, have a better setup than I had! You don’t want your gear to fail you. You could even support yourself from your vehicle, that’s what I’m doing next time I run any endurance loop-type race. Lastly, don't set a limit on your miles ahead of time. Go in with zero expectations and just take it lap by lap.
Na ya quit not because of weather...............
