Goodwood Workout and Walker Higgins Sendoff Celebration
We have traditionally done Send Off Run when Walker goes on one of his epic journeys.
I hope we bring him luck
Details of Walker’s upcoming race:
“Details on the effort:
The record is the American 40+ Age Group record for 100 miles on road or trail. It’s currently held by ultra running legend Mike Morton for 2012 where he ran
13 hour 11 minutes 44 seconds on a certified course. That pace was 7:55 per mile.
I will be running at Tunnel Hill 100 in Vienna Illinois. It’s virtually flat with only about 800-1000ft of elevation. It’s a double out and back per 50 miles. The course is an old railway that has been converted to a crushed limestone path. Many records have been set there.
Walker’s goal is to set off at 7:40 and hold on as long as I can.”
