It seems like each weekend during the summer you can find either a half or full marathon race to run. Knowing a few expert tips and having the right gear can make all the difference in having an enjoyable race. Below are a few suggestions to get you through your next marathon.
Last year, The North Face Endurance Challenge, presented by GORE-TEX added a couple locations, now making it a six stops series and one of the locations is in Utah. I was able to participate in it last year with some friends. We ran the Marathon Relay and it was a great time. The atmosphere and energy at the race was high and was definitely one of the more enjoyable trail events that I have been to. This year the Utah race will take place on September 26 – 27 at the Park City Mountain Resort.
The Volcom PBRJ (Peanut Butter & Rail Jam) event is coming to Brighton Resort on 3/21. This is a free, youth focused snowboarding event open to men and women of all ages – a really fun and interactive event for the boys and girls to show off their skills and compete in a fun environment. Volcom will be providing free food, drinks and giveaways for competitors and spectators.
Grilling, smoking, frying or dehydrating—meat fanatics have a lot of tricks up their sleeves when it comes to preparing their favorite foods. Whether you fire up the grill for hearty barbecue steaks, heat up the skillet for crispy bacon or use a dehydrator to prepare healthy jerky snacks, grill masters and backyard BBQ experts can agree on one thing: Bacon and jerky are both delicious. But which meaty snack is better? Find out here where bacon and jerky battle it out for the title of total meat supremacy.
HOKA ONE ONE Tor Ultra Hi WP
The first thing I thought of when I saw the Tor Ultra Hi WP is that I could run in those. Weighing slightly over one pound, the Tor Ultra Hi WP combines HOKA’s signature running shoe cushioning and Meta-Rocker geometry with a supportive high-top upper. The new silhouette is rich with performance enhancing features, including a new Vibram® MegaGrip outsole rubber with five millimeter lugs to provide traction over varied terrain, a leather and nylon mesh upper for durable support, and an eVent® waterproof, breathable membrane to keep feet dry.
