Way to go, Rachel!!!

ULTRA AAAAAMAZING!

A runner shout out to Rachel Schack from Morehead who continues to amaze with her endurance trail running/racing. She won the The Rugged Red Trail 13.1 this fall and followed it up with another big win in a 50K along with a course record.

Well this weekend she doubled the 50K to 100K in her longest race ever. Once again, she won and ran ahead of almost all the men in the field! See her comment below. Awesome accomplishment Rachel!

****************************************
I got to try my first 100k 😁 It was the Jackson County (Indiana) Ultras 100k trail race and it was a great race experience despite the unfortunate timing of logging equipment causing major mud. 1st place female and 2nd overall.

TRAILBLAZER!!!

We wanted to give a big trail runner shout out to Rachel Schack from Morehead, KY.

A few weeks back Rachel won The Rugged Red Trail 13.1 in Slade (RRG) and over the weekend she road tripped and camped at Yellowwood State Forest in Nashville, IN to take 1st Place Overall Female (And put up a new Women's Course Record) at the Tecumseh Trail Challenge 50K. Her time was 4:43 and she even "beat all the boys"! That's flying for 31 miles on the hilly Central Indiana trails.

NEXT UP FOR RACHEL --- The Jackson County Ultras 100K in December

Awesome stuff Rachel! Keep it up - You're on a roll!
