Run It Fast®

Run It Fast’s Race Across the USA had an epic finish on Day 27 for Eli’s P.R. Ice as they became our 11th team to finish this epic adventure on the Santa Monica Pier.

Needing 208 miles to finish, many pundits thought it might take two more days. However, Eli’s Ice Dream Machine reached the finish by early afternoon with monster performances from nearly everyone on the team’s final day, none bigger than Abbi Auger’s 62.00 mile day that insured their Saturday finish.

Eli’s finished in 26 Days, 16 Hours, 48 Minutes. They were led by Francesca Muccini’s 589.32 miles and team captain Melissa Price’s 392.62 miles.

Congrats to Melissa and Eli’s P.R. Ice.

Oh my this is getting exciting as we get close to the finish of our epic journey. We have a real race on our hands as Eli’s P.R.

Team captain Melissa Price ran 15.06 miles and Veronique Bourbeau added 12.19 miles. The next two days should be interesting.

PEERS ONE- Day 26: 126.14 Miles (1st) – 12th overall

Smelling the ocean air, Peers One had a massive day with 126.14 miles to get within four miles of Eli’s P.R. Ice. The heat is on The Ice with only 208 miles to the finish. They were led on the day by Wayne McComb with a big 28.34 miles. Steve Durbin added a hefty marathon of his own miles, as team captain Rich Peers covered 23.90 miles.

It’s going to be an exciting finish. Can the tired legs of P-1 find enough miles in them quick enough to catch Eli’s and get to the pier before them? We are going to find out.

Miles to finish: 208.80

The team is in Klondike, California.
