This is my journey - or quest - to run a race in all 50 states - a 10K minimum - so mixing in a half-marathon, marathon, or even multiple 5K's in each state to equal a 10K. With the encouragement of my kids, I began documenting the adventure on RUclips, and have created this channel so you all can follow along.
Along the way, I check out local restaurants, visit local sites, and talk about some of the history in the area as well. As other running/adventure challenges pop up, I will add those to the watch list as well.
I hope you enjoy! Feel free to comment and please subscribe and spread the word. Thank for joining along!

HOT DOG DAY! Sorry bout your nips, bro.
I had missed this one - what a pretty area!
Oh my gosh - I was so surprised!! Kind of a desert area, but that just added to the beauty of it all!
Minnesota! Pretty cool to see all those states filling in on your U.S. map!
Getting there!! I believe I’m at 20, definitely need to update my board lol!
Yay for home state run! Way to go!
Super cool right!! 😊
Dang bugs and humidity makes all outdoor activities tough! What the heck was in that water?! Nice work getting it done.
Thanks Dawn!! Some kind of crazy snake either a local garden variety or either something that’s swimming in the Mississippi haha!! Pretty creepy either way!!
Who knew Iowa had a Pike’s Peak?! I always love your positive attitude.
I know right!! Especially since it was the same guy!! One of my favorite things to do is to find all these little spots haha!!
👍
Stay strong.
Your Mom and Dad are so proud of you! So are all your old friends from home!
That’s quite a compliment, Dawn. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!! 😊❤️
That openness and wind is not my favorite geography, but you did it!
I know right!! It so wide open - the wind never stops lol!! But it’s really beautiful - I just loved that area!!
I needed a little inspiration to get back in the workout room after Thanksgiving weekend - so I popped this on! So impressive and inspiring! You are not small potatoes, you really are amazing. Love that end pic of your Mom and Dad, as I am sure they are looking down and smiling.
Awe…thank you so much, Dawn!! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it!! There’s so much to be thankful for and so many people who inspire, to think you thought of me - well, that’s pretty cool. I hope it helped get you going😊. …and I think they are as well 🥰
Amazing job🎉🎉🎉. I hope you come back for more! Thank you so much for posting your experience. (David, loopet race director)
Thank you so much!! I appreciate you commenting and watching! It was a fantastic event, and a great course!! I’d love to come back again - just more prepared this time lol! Feel free to share with others 😊
Punches you in the face is pretty accurate 😂
Big time!! 👊
Oh goodness he made baby Shey older than she is 😂....also it was wonderful seeing you morning after morning smiling!!
Haha!! Something to show baby Shey when she’s older lol!! They grow up too quick the way it is haha!! And thank you ! It was great to see you as well - what an inspiration to a lot of people you are. Keep up the great work!!
You are a ray of sunshine! I love the glass half full attitude. I know your parents are with you every step of the way!
Thanks so much, Dawn - I really appreciate it! I believe they are as well :-)
Let’s gooooo 🎉
Great meeting you. Chris! Keep up the great work buddy!!
Let's go Kev!🤘🏻
Thanks Peter!!
Appreciate your films Kevin! Nice job! I am signed up to do my first ultra at the Fire Tower race this year too. Hoping it goes well, and hopefully I can do a little filming of my adventure also.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the feedback! My kids were the ones who suggested I do the videos so they could see what I do, where I go, and to be able to share it with others. It’s been more fun than I thought and have met some amazing people along the way. This year is not what I had planned, after having some medical setbacks within my family, but hoping to do more the later half of this year - possibly returning to Fire Tower, which was a great race, by the way, and perfect for your first ultra! Thank you again for watching, and I’ll be sure to check your site for videos as well. Be safe and enjoy the run!
You didn’t miss good weather days here. It’s been dreary this week. I think this is just such an amazing trip. You are such a positive light!
Awe - thanks so much Dawn, I really appreciate it!! And I heard it’s not been too nice back home. Supposedly it was unseasonably cold here, but it was still nicer than there lol!
WANDA!!!
Just saw Wanda again at the Center of the Nation series!!
I hear David's cowbell 🤣🤣
Haha!! Yep, can’t get away from that - you can hear that a mile away - literally lol!
Are you going to more Mainly races?
@@nikkiemberson5064 I’m sure I will at some point. I’ll have to take a look at the schedule and see how it aligns with work. I really enjoyed my experience with you all, so I would love to do another series - or more! - sometime soon.
I'm hoping to do Independence and New England back to back. I've also been doing a few days of Heartland and Summer Camp when they come to Wisconsin and Minnesota. :)
Have enjoyed watching your journey ❤
Thanks, Ellie - I really appreciate it!
Well done!! 😀
Thank you!!
All the best on your journey. Hope to see you on one of your races.. I completed all 50 in 2018.
Thank you so much for checking it out. And congratulations on your accomplishment- pretty amazing!! It’s been a great adventure so far!
Altitude kills without a doubt. You’ll only get better. Nice and dry. Love it.
Yea, I was really surprised!! It has definitely gotten better - and today, in Laughlin - was awesome lol!
Right on. Durango and southwest CO is awesome. Great skiing fo’ sho’. Glad to see your back on the horse.
Yea, I just can’t get over how amazing this country is out here - and there is so much to do and see! Definitely need to plan a trip back!
Woot woot go get it Kev!
Thanks Renee!! I appreciate it!! 😊
Great job!!! Love your videos! I was wondering if you have come down from the wedding yet!
Thank you so much!! Hard to come down from that great day lol! Doing these runs just changes the high from Wedding excitement to running excitement haha!
So cool Kevin! So glad I finally found the time to watch this. Sorry about the knee - but you found a way to get it done! Such an inspiration you are!!
Thank you so much, Dawn!! I really appreciate you checking it out. It was quite the adventure, that’s for sure!! 😀
Great video and thanks for sharing! Was awesome to have you out there. Your official time was 6:58:35 so you beat 7 hours! Woo!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! And yea, I was pretty excited to see I just made it under my goal lol!
Well done cuz!! 🤘
Thanks Kyle - really appreciate!!
Hey Kevin, it’s Chris from the 50K! Glad I found you and hope the knee is feeling better! This video is awesome! 👊
Hey Chris, thanks so much for watching - I really appreciate it! I'm glad you enjoyed it! It was great to meet, and run with, you as well. Knee is still a little tender, but hoping a little rest takes care of it. Take care and hope to see you on the trails again some day!
Way to go dude. Congrats. 🎉🎉
Thanks, man!! I truly appreciate it!!
Climb the fire tower?!?! Sadists!
Tell me about it haha!! That was one of the craziest things ever lol!
Cheese and rice! Ultra-beast.
Haha!! Thanks buddy!! I appreciate it - and the Fire Tower was a bit wobbly on top haha! BUT, made the climb and kept going lol!
Super cool, Kev! You are an inspiration! This is definitely an extremely hard challenge to tackle and you did it! Way to go!
Thanks so much, Jess, I really appreciate it!! Yea, it was a tough one, that’s for sure lol, But extremely gratifying in the end. Thank you so much for watching!!
Good Lord Kev! What an accomplishment. Maybe a little crazy, but still impressive.
Haha! Thanks, Lin! Yea, definitely a little crazy, but feel pretty happy to accomplish it! Thanks so much for watching!!
Ok - I just found enough time to watch this, and you are incredible! I am just in awe of your determination and strength! I am reading David Goggin’s book, he is really something. It was interesting to watch your progression of tired, to really tired, to running on adrenaline. Sleep deprivation is the worst. Such an amazing accomplishment. Be very proud! P.S. tell your 70 year old neighbor he is also amazing!
Oh, thanks so much, Dawn!! David Goggins is some kind of unique individual, that's for sure! I was not familiar with him until he was referred to me from a friend of mine. He suggested I look into this challenge, and it took a few months before I actually felt like it was something I wanted to try. There's no denying, this was a tough one, and yes, the sleep deprivation I think was the biggest challenge! Whew! Thank you again for taking the time to view it and comment, I totally appreciate it - and for all the kind words!! And yes, my neighbor is amazing lol!!
🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭 beast mode, activated.
Haha!! Thanks buddy - this thing was crazy!! 😩. Hope you enjoy the video - it’s a little long but it was a long challenge lol!
24 miles on a bad knee. Yeah. Lots to be ashamed about there. You are a beast! DiGiorno is the only frozen pizza my kids will touch. You have now planted a seed in my head. Will need to do a pizza vid soon.
Thanks bud, I appreciate that!! Can’t wait for the pizza video to come out haha!
That’s a pretty big challenge to make the night before you run! Sorry your knee didn’t hold up, I hope some ice, rest, and stretching helps it heal quickly. Good thoughts sent your way!
Thanks Dawn! Yea, I like the idea so thought I’d give it a shot. A little rest and hopefully I’ll be back on track 👍😊
Amazing Sunday entertainment!
Awe thanks!
That was the River Run half marathon right? I ran that a few years ago. One of my favorite courses with that slight down hill the whole way. Great video that sparked some fun memories for me!
Yep, that’s the same one. Yea, it was a great course! You don’t often see a mostly downhill course, so that certainly was unique. Thank you for watching- Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool challenge Kevin! Good Luck...!! :)
Thanks Doug!!
Dude, when she yells “there’s grandpa!” How are we that old!! Road racing seems to be the way to run. I may start back up.
Ha!! Crazy - Right!! That was also one of the most awesome things to hear also!! 😊 And you should - it’s so rewarding! And you set your own rules and pace - run for you and you’re good to go!! Thanks for watching, bud - I appreciate it!! And your videos are amazing!!! 🤘
Great accomplishment! I finally got to watch this tonight - better than all the dumb reruns on tv! BTW - I have the same headphones - I love them, as you can hear what is going on around you.
Thank you so much, Dawn!! I love that I'm must see TV haha!! And yes, those headphones are awesome!! They fit so nice and you're right, having the ability to hear around you is so critical! You don't know how much I appreciate you commenting and watching - it's pretty awesome!!
Awe, love this!!!
Thank you so much, Rhonda!! I appreciate you watching them!!
Epic idea to do this, my man. Good luck. Looks like you’ve had a helluva start.
helluva start in deed!! Glad you found them and got a chance to view them. I appreciate the support! Quite a journey to be on and can't wait to get to the next one!
You are the GOAT!!!
Haha!! Thanks, bud - I appreciate that! That was a tough one!
Great job!! 2 in one day and bonus points for navigating an unfamiliar area to get to both of the races on time!
Thanks Dawn!! Google knows a lot of places and how to get to them pretty easily lol! I wasn’t sure how the country would be, but thankfully the communities were fairly easy to navigate and pretty close by 😊
