Kae is certainly an inspiration to everyone at Prairie On Fire. She sets big goals for herself because she was inspired by her Dad (our race director and founder TJ Dailey ) his ultra running friends, and everyone at the backyard ultra.

At least year’s race _Angel Soto Lozada_ ran 100 miles for the first time, but he didn’t stop there. People in the community encouraged him to keep going.
His goal shifted from achieving a set mileage to, “just finish the lap and start the next one.” This mindset helped pushed him another 8 hours past a point where he thought he was finished. Angel went on to become one of the first 3 people in the history of our race to make it to the night course for a second night.
He finished 3rd and we’re excited to see what he does this year.

AND for every person who raises $250 or more, NSD will be handing out codes for a FREE singlet or shirt following this year's event. Let's work together to help end shoe insecurity for youth in Indiana.
