But you don't have to do it.

I'll do it.

All right.

Hey, everybody.

This is going to be a Meet the Nation Monday.

This is where we talk to a fan of the show, or a friend of the show,

someone that listens to the podcast, joined the Ten Junk Miles Nation Facebook group,

or is otherwise interested in all things Ten Junk Miles.

We'd like to also shout out to local businesses or people that we know that are doing good in the world,

or et cetera.

And today, we're going to talk about the Fire Tower Races.

They're helping you achieve your goals in a safe, welcoming, and accessible,

old school trail running fire event.

The Fire Tower 100K is one of the fastest, flattest, zero pavement 100K races in the upper Midwest.

And the 50K has one of the most generous cutoffs anywhere at 17 hours.

That means that you, the person who doesn't think that you can run an ultra-distance, can totally do this.

Plus, you get to climb the historic fire tower during your run.

Ten camping is included, and the grill will be fired up for post-race hanging out.

There's a 35K, an 11K, and a 50K.

So if you want to run a little bit shorter, that's cool too.

There's something for everyone.
