This year, with the Endless Mountains multi-day race on the horizon, we decided to level up - a full 24-hour event. I kept the course details secret from everyone, which is part of the fun, and we kicked off at 8 PM on Friday and wrapped up 24 hours later.

The usual suspects and newcomers Ben and Nick joined us on the adventure.
