Springathlon participants took social distancing to the next level! Vert Is Real Challenge got out of control and resulted in some mind bugling performances. \r\nWhile we are impressed with the results, our intention was to give you an opportunity to challenge yourself and have fun. Runners can adapt to any conditions and find their way. They proved that while staying safe and distancing themself, they still can do what they love. We saw everything from running up and down stair flys through running a short hill to big runs in high mountains. Congrats to everyone who participated! You gain strength and confidence that will pay off in the future.⠀\r\n
