2025 brought a finish line we’ll never forget 🏁
We crossed the Heart of America Marathon, and seeing Antonio featured on KOMU 8 as he crossed the finish line, with family cheering him on 📣, made it even more special! 🙌
As Missouri’s top FKT (Fastest Known Time) record-holding athletes 🥇, we’re hungry for what’s next. More courses to explore 🌄, more limits to push 💪, and hopefully a few new FKT records to chase down later this year! We might even throw another marathon into the mix 👀
We had our sights set on the Queeny Backyard Ultra - St. Louis, MO, on March 6, 2026 , but Mother Nature had other plans. We had been watching the weather and decided not to risk it. Just 3 hours in, a state of emergency was issued due to severe storms and tornadoes, and the race was postponed several hours overnight.
Huge congratulations to Jeff Walker (251 miles 😳 and 43 years old) and Stephanie Rosenbaugh (171 miles + course record 🏆 and 44 years old 💪) absolutely incredible performances! 👏👏
We also want to send a massive THANK YOU to our team and community 💛🙏 for continuing to log miles for charity, together we’ve surpassed 45,336 miles!!! 🏃♀️🏃♂️💫 Last year alone, during the 5K-a-day challenge, Antonio & Heather completed over 3,000 miles! Every step makes an impact 💕
We’re feeling more motivated than ever for this next year! More miles 🏃♀️🏃♂️, more adventures 🌍, and doing it all side by side ❤️Let’s go!!! 😊💕
