• Day 1: Run It Fast’s Race Across the USA – Rev Run Takes Lead Out of NYC

 

Run It Fast’s Race Across the USA usually has a bit of a lull every Friday before big massive weekends from the teams, but today was the exception to that rule. Rev ‘FFWD’ Run had it’s second biggest day of the entire event with 248.82 miles, just five miles off it’s high of 253.18 on May 23rd.

The biggest bump on the day went to Mojo Rising with 163.68 miles. They had the third most miles on the day, a spot behind The Metcalvary’s 167.49.

The Grapes of Rath and Tuck n’ Stroll rounded out the top five teams on Day 12.

The biggest performance of the day, once again, went to Ed ‘the Jester’ Ettinghausen with 51.30 miles. It’s like he’s in a massive hurry to get his team back to his native California and himself, hopefully, to Death Valley in early July for his 10th consecutive Badwater 135.

1. Rev Run – 248.82
