Trying this one again because when it’s a race you’re almost guaranteed to fail, it’s got a weirdly strong pull to see how you can do at it. 🧲 Send good navigation vibes, strong climbing leg vibes and lots of staying-awake-through-many-days vibes, please! ✨🙏

For the past 64 hours, Court has been running a single 4.16667 mile loop in Big’s Backyard each hour. That’s 266 miles and change, and she’s not done yet. At mile 250, Laz popped in to congratulate her and offer his words of wisdom. Who will be the last person standing?
