Celebrating the New Year by running sounds like a dream for many of us, but many on the Fleet Feet Race Team got to do just that. Aleisha Chaffin was trained up and ready to run her 1st 100 miler, and run it she did, finishing in an amazingly fast time of 18:15!! She was 5th overall. She has thrown a time out there that many others on the team have to chase.

The January tradition of running, walking and crawling the
trails of Monte Sano and Land Trust continued with some of the best weather
seen in the 23 year history. Between marking the course, volunteering, and
racing (and some all three), the Fleet Feet team once again represented well at
the 23rd Mountain Mist 50K. Dink’s dream of turning runners inside
out continues to come true. The Fleet Feet colors were on display all along the
rocky single track. Congrats to the
