In S4Ep13 of the PRP, Adam chatters with prolific ultra runner Jon Alsip, passionate outdoor enthusiast Meredith Hill and nature loving visionary Dan Hughes - all of whom have been preparing for the Huron 100 on June 8th, 2024 in one way or another.
This unique episode tackles race preparation not only from the perspective of the runner, but also from the perspective of the medical and race directors. On race weekend Jon will be attempting to run 100 miles, Meredith will be attempting to medically direct an officially permitted endurance event and Dan will be stepping up as first in charge of the entire kit n caboodle.
The Huron 100 pioneers dive deep into the history of this growing event and discuss some of the hardships that have accompanied turning one man’s dream into a reality. How exactly do you turn a fun idea into something safe for others to participate in? How on earth do you prepare for an event of this magnitude? How significant is the cultivation of community and many amazing people do you need to help from in order to pull something like this off? From conception to dry runs to ok let’s try this to oh shit this is insane - buckle up and learn how the Huron 100 has quickly become the most prominent point to point 100 mile race in Michigan!
