Meet Dave Wiskowski!
1) Tell us, how and when did you get into trail running?
I was running a local half marathon in suburban Chicago, and began chatting with a woman named Shelley that I was running with for a while in the race.

Meet Peter Migun!

Knoxville, TN!
2) How and when did you get into trail running?

I signed up for a trail half half and was hooked. Have never looked back! It’s not uncommon for me to do a 12 mile loop then be drinking a beer by the quarry. Best of...
