Race Results of the Week

Tidbits

✅Professional League x MJ: The GOAT, Michael Jordan, is forming a new professional track league; similar to the Diamond League, which will consist of 4 track meets and $3 million prize purses. Insanity.

✅Kourtney Kardashian’s Husband: Kourtney’s husband; Travis Barker (drummer in Blink-182) is APPARENTLY a dedicated runner; which we did not know. He’s hosting a 2-part running series in LA and Queens, NY during July. We love the race logo and realllly hope he rolls out a virtual race so we can cop that merch. Check it out here: https://www.runtravisrun.com/

✅Ultra Injuries: This past weekend, at a France-based Ultra trail run; 1 runner passed away and three were injured during the event. With steep drop-offs, and unsure footing, it made for an extra treacherous course and ultimately - these athletes were victims of Mother Nature.

✅Designer Bikes: Porsche has some of the best-in-class performance, luxury vehicles on this planet. They’re also wicked expensive and just as much a status symbol as they are a ‘cool factor.’ Now, they’ve rolled out a status symbol for endurance athletes; the mountain bike. Coming in at more than $11k - these ebikes aren’t cheap, but they ARE luxury.
