MEET OUR AMBASSADOR:
Adam has been running trails for a while, but really got into it in 2018, when he worked for the DNR at Point Beach State Forest. Did you know he is also an ultra runner? We asked Adam about all things trail-related.
Why ultras? “I enjoy pushing my limits. But most of all enjoy the perspective. Life‘s problems seem small and easy after pushing yourself for 50+ miles in 12 hours.”
Favorite race? “My first ultra was Apple Creek 50K in 2018. I want to pick that one, but honestly, I love all ultra races. The atmosphere, the community, and all those beautifully nasty smells, along with the amazing smells of an aid station. What’s not to love? If you don’t know, volunteer for an aid station and you too will get hooked!”
Do you have some trail advice for someone? “Not every day is going to be a good day. Everyone has those days where you just don’t wanna go. It takes 30 minutes for you to just lace up your shoes. You got to stay focused and set an attainable goal: ‘I’m gonna go to the end of the road.’ Then go to the end of the road. Once you are there, set another goal: You can either go further, or maybe you just go home. Even if you went home, at least you went somewhere and tomorrow you can go further.”
What is your must have gear on the trail? "For every day running it would be my CEP socks. I have a lot of them, and I love them. On race day, it’s my salt tabs. It is a must have, or I will suffer after 20 miles.”
