The photo above was from the celebration for RIF #1 Joshua Holmes who had just run his 100th Marathon / Ultra at the Flying Monkey Marathon. This is just one example of how RIFers strive to run more and farther! Congrats Josh!

Now for some RIF Club business…

This month’s random drawing winner is RIF #186 Danny Staggs! We will be sending him a Gone For A Run sign and we are sure it will get a lot of use!

Don’t forget to submit your points/monthly miles next month for a chance to win! Anyone who submits races or miles or even to say they didn’t race/run because life got in the way is eligible for the drawing. We just want to hear what everyone is up to and it’s fun to see the race miles add up.

This is the sub-30 buckle for the Chimera 100 Miler that was held on November 16-17, 2013 in the Cleveland National Forest, California.

This race has over 22,000 feet of elevation gain and is so difficult it has a sub-3o buckle instead of a sub-24 buckle.

Congratulations to RIF #1 Joshua who tamed the beast this weekend!
