2021 was the first year this race was held and after a year with limited races due to the pandemic, it was an item circled on my calendar. The race takes place in scenic Damascus, VA (less than 3 hours away from Charlotte, NC) where NC, VA, and TN and meet. The race also is a no DNF event meaning that no matter what distance you attempt you will be counted as a finisher. This makes it a great opportunity to strive for a new distance PR or a time PR without worry of being counted as a DNF if something happens to go wrong. Additionally, on Saturday the races touts its awesome features of an all day food truck and live music at night following the race. Sounds amazing right?!
This race was everything I signed up for and more. I cannot thank Jason Green (the RD) enough for putting together this event or bringing together such awesome people to help volunteer the race or run the race. Every member of the Yeti Army had encouraging words from the start of the weekend until the end. Morgan Wade performed and man that girl can sing! After a year of so much loss, loneliness, and pain attending this race was truly truly special and hopefully a sign of things to come. I cannot recommend this race enough to any runner of any speed of any distance. Cannot miss!!!
