The 2023 (Unofficial) Lighthouse 100
Seven years ago my Daddy and I packed up and headed north for the weekend to run a brand new race called the Lighthouse 100. It promised a beautiful course, amazing views, and an unforgettable experience. It definitely did not disappoint. Since that first race, I’ve returned each June for the 100 mile run every […]

A Fork in the Road
