Happy FriYAY Team!

This weekend, all eyes are on one of our own trail warriors, Erin, as she takes on the incredible challenge of the Lonely Mountain Ultra. She’s not just running—it’s 104kms of rugged terrain with a staggering 4,000 meters of elevation gain. To call it tough would be an understatement; this is a race that demands grit, months of disciplined training, and the kind of resilience that Erin has shown time and time again.

For many months, Erin has been preparing for this event, putting in the some insane kms on the trails, embracing the early mornings, the heat of the day, nutritional experiments, and pushing through the fatigue to be ready for this weekend. Trail ultras aren’t just about speed—they’re about endurance, strategy, and sheer determination. Erin embodies all of these qualities, and we couldn’t be prouder to see her toe the line on Saturday.

She won’t be out there alone, though. Her husband, Tim, will be right by her side as support crew—an unsung hero role in any ultra. From logistics and refueling to encouragement at the toughest points, Tim’s presence will be a huge part of Erin’s journey through the mountains.

We wish both Erin and Tim the very best for this incredible adventure. May the weather be kind, the trails firm, and the spirit strong. Whatever the outcome, simply starting an event of this magnitude is an achievement in itself—and we’re all behind you, cheering every step of the way!

YOU are stronger than YOU think,

Alli
