Drymax Visits Across The Years Race

Lisa Bliss Crosses The Start Finish Line For Her 100th Mile

We just returned from a wonderful visit to the 72, 48 and 24 hour races at the Nardini Manor near Phoenix, AZ. It was wonderful to renew friendships as well as to create new ones. My very patient wife Charity and two sons (2 miniature schnauzers Freddie and Bostwick) came along for the ride on the big Drymax bus and found the event to be fascinating and the participant's tenacity to be inspiring.

For those not familiar with this event it is a distance challenge that takes place every new year. It begins in 2008 and finishes in 2009 with three different races in one, a 24 hour, a 48 hour and 72 hour version. The object is to run as far as you can for the selected period of time. The top runner ran almost 270 miles in 72 hours. Drymax athtlete Lisa Bliss finished 2nd in the 48 hour women's race completing 150 miles.

We were very fortunate to have been the sock sponsor of ATY this year and had some great performances by the participants. I wanted to thank everyone for being so gracious to allow us to be part of this iconic event.
