Running Grand Canyon 50k
|
This run became something much bigger than a 50K. Running the Grand Canyon with marathon legend Ryan Hall, alongside friends from Believe in the Run, Mount to Coast and Path Projects… humbling, epic, and one I won’t forget. Long miles. Relentless heat. Big climbs. And a few cold river and waterfall plunges to survive it all. Our route was South Kaibab → Phantom Ranch → Ribbon Falls → back out. This 12 minute YouTube video gives a good summary of the day. I can highly recommend this route for a long hike or running adventure. CLICK HERE to watch this new video. A few quotes that stood out to my by Ryan Hall this day:
