A shout out to all of you (supporters, families, friends, co-workers, and well wishers) for participating! You are helping dreams to come true.
Years ago, I was standing at the finish line of the Bear 100 and it was way past 6:00 pm (the cutoff). I saw a father and a son waiting for one last runner. The little boy didn't even know the runner, the dad did. The little boy asked, why are we still here? The father said, we are supporting someone in their dream. That has stuck with me.
Sometimes I find myself saying that same thing... "I'm supporting someone in their dream!" It has made a huge difference for me.

Still with you, Keith. ‘Til the end. Mom
From the data team - Here is a link to a small write-up on the Bear 100 mile race and how the software company and the HAM radio folks put it all together. Just for fun: https://news.adilas.biz/2023/09/27/bear-100-mile-endurance-run-september-23-and-24th-2022/
Thanks for all of the fun comments and encouragement! I personally am not racing but it lifts my soul to see so many great people out there cheering on their moms, dads, wives, husbands, brothers, sisters, co-workers, teachers, etc. That is awesome! You guys rock!
Props to Cody Draper - Race Director - He's been super busy getting things ready for the race this year... Here we go!
