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.
