The Boy (age 10) crushed it, finishing his first marathon in 4:49. He didn’t take a single walk break and ran a relatively even pace (2:20/2:29). This kid is amazing.

Will (standing in solid mud from a day long rain) rings the bell at #acrosstheyears after setting a new personal record of 37 miles. After 12 hours on course he’s now sleeping soundly. Meanwhile, Melissa has just passed 100 km.

Will completed a marathon in 7h20m and kept right on going with his new friend Danica. He is currently at 29.4 miles and very eager to get to 37 so he can ring the bell they have for anyone who sets a new personal record.

Will and Melissa running the Palmer Lake Death Race 24 Hour. They’re 7 hours in and it’s been snowing for 7 hours, though at 35° F it’s melting as fast as it’s falling.

217 total miles for Team Ragfield at #acrosstheyears 🎉. The Boy (36 miles) far exceeded anyone’s expectations for an 8 year old. @cloth_mother (80+ miles) and @sexyhermit (100+ miles) both struggled a bit more than we would have preferred. It is what it is. Time to rest now.
#happynewyear from #phoenix 🎉 15 hours into #acrosstheyears @cloth_mother has covered 70 miles and is desperately trying to stay awake ☕️ , while Will covered 36 miles and is probably sleeping better than he’s ever slept before 😴.
The Boy just ran his first #halfmarathon in the first 2½ hours of his #acrosstheyears 24 hour race. I think he pushed a little too hard to stay ahead of his mom (who is probably doing a better job at pacing).
