Run It Fast®

Run It Fast’s Race Across the USA had it’s second team finish when The Metcalvary reached the Santa Monica Pier early this afternoon. The Mets, led by captain Jen Metcalf, finished a distance second to Rev Run but blitzed the rest of the competition finishing the race in 18 days, 14 hours, 30 minutes.

An example of their consistency and strength is that the team never won a single day but was consistently in the daily top 3 that parlayed into their second place finish.

The team was led by every runner on the team and had 100% participation over the 19 days.

Mileage wise they were led over the 19 days by Andy Glaze’s 479.13 miles and Randy Broadway’s 420.02 miles.
