Congrats to everyone who ran the Jackass Virtual.

The team was led by Lindsay Phenix’s 570.80 miles, along with Audrey Davis’s 368.22 miles and 354.13 miles from JR Reynolds.

After the first three weeks of Run It Fast’s Race Across the USA, we have seen some truly amazing performances and massive miles from all 132 runners on our twelve teams. We have now had five teams finish the race.

Those 132 runners have run a combined 31,919.79 miles over the first twenty-one days of the race, an average of 241.82 miles per runner.  For perspective it’s 24,901 miles around the world.

We are extremely proud of every runner on this list. Thanks for making the race a major success.

PEERS ONE- Day 10: 57.88 Miles (12th) – 10th overall

Team morale is down for  P-1 with the race ending injury to it’s big miler Thomas Fowler. Captain Rich Peers continues to lead by example, but he might need to dig deep for a Knute Rockne speech to amp up the rest of the team to help make up Fowler’s missing miles. Steve Durbin got in 8.18 on the day, and Diane Taylor landed on 6.49 miles.

The team is in Germantown, Tennessee.

THE BEETROOTS – Day 10: 69.76 Miles (11th) – 12th overall

The Beetroots get a race report today. The good news is Brenda Cross (22.01), Lance McDermott (20.13), and Leslie Studtmann (13.10) contributed wonderfully for The Roots today. The bad news is those three made up 55.24 of the team’s 69.76 miles. As in the other eight members of the team contributed 14.52 miles total. Is this the same team that had 145.86 miles this past Sunday?

The team is in Brownsville, Tennessee being chased by a swarm of killer hornet bees.
