press release

Here's a copy of the official press release from the Hardrock race program. My mom wanted it for the Sunbury Daily Item. Normally I'd tell her to get lost but since she bought me a brand spankin' new pair of Montrail Hardrocks I figured I had to oblige.

Jon Teisher recently completed the prestigious Hardrock Hundred Endurance Run, a 100-mile endurance run held July 13-15 through the San Juan Mountains in southwest Colorado, in 42 hours and 55 minutes. The Hardrock Hundred Endurance Run ascends and descends a cumulative total of over 65,000 vertical feet, including an ascent of one of Colorado’s famous 14,000 ft. peaks, Handies Peak, and is held at an average elevation of over 2 miles above sea level.
Runners from more than 25 states as well as Germany, Australia, Belgium, and France competed in this years run. This year the first finisher was Kyle Skaggs from Glenwood, NM. His time was 23 hours, 23 minutes and 30 seconds. In all, 98 runners finished this years Hardrock, the most finishers ever!
For more information on this extraordinary run please go to www.run100s.com/HR or contact run director, Dale Garland at 970-259-3693 or hardrock100@bresnan.net.
