Join us for this inspirational chat with John and Ann Monroe from Saranac Lake, New York! John was crewed and paced by his wife Ann at the 2023 and 2024 Wild Goose 100. The two events could not have been more different! In 2023, John bowed out at mile 93 after a grueling battle with Tropical Storm Ophelia and the washed out Wawayanda trails. His mantra for the next year carried him to the finish line a year later: "4 MORE IN '24!" Listen in to hear John and Ann's inspirational story of how they got into trail running and how they crossed that Wild Goose finish line together. Oh and by the way, John is 70 years young and Ann paced him for 37 of the 100 miles!
