Then? We unleash the brakes. We are flying down toward Pawnee Avenue—fast, free, and grinning ear to ear—before sprinting it home to the Keg. 🚀

🔊BIG SHOUT TO STEPHEN HOLMES!!!
💥BIGFOOT 200 BOUND 🏔️🔥👣

This Friday, our friend and Manitou Run Club buddy Stephen Holmes will be stepping onto the start line of one of the toughest ultramarathons on the planet: the Bigfoot 200.

And if you’ve ever run with Stephen, you know he’s the perfect person for the challenge.

Kind. Humble. Positive. Always smiling. Always encouraging others. The guy behind many of our favorite photos and videos. The first to celebrate someone else’s accomplishment and the last person to ask for recognition himself.

But make no mistake—he has earned this!

For months, Stephen has been quietly putting in the work. Early mornings. Long runs… MASSIVE! Back-to-back training days. Countless miles. Countless climbs. The kind of consistency and dedication that most people never see. 💪

Now it’s time. ⏰

⛰️ BIGFOOT 200
📍 Washington Cascades
📏 ~206-208 miles
📈 Over 45,000 feet of climbing
📉 Nearly 47,000 feet of descent
⏱️ Up to 105+ hours to finish
🌋 Volcanic terrain, remote wilderness, ridgelines, forests, river crossings, sleep deprivation, and every emotion imaginable. The course travels through the wild country around Mount St. Helens, Mount Adams, and Mount Rainier.

This isn’t just a race.

It’s a journey measured in sunrises, sunsets, determination, resilience, and heart.

Stephen, your Manitou Run Club family is incredibly proud of you! Thank you for the miles, the laughs, the photos, the friendship, and the inspiration you bring to this community.

Let’s send him off with some love and encouragement! 👇

Drop a comment and wish Stephen good luck as he takes on one of the biggest adventures in ultrarunning.

GO GET IT, STEPHEN! 🔥🏔️💙
