It’s been an incredible day so far and the group will be rolling into the Trek store here in Portsmouth in just a few minutes. Figured I’d provide you all a quick update along with some pics!

Everyone sailed in to the mainland with no problems except for Forrest who decided to take a quick dip in the 42 degree water....

Edward Aten – On ‘Impossibility’

In 2007 I watched my stepbrother run the Boston Marathon and was inspired. Then I went for a run a few days later and realized while I had been a runner my whole life I was at least 2 minutes a mile off the qualifying pace. Qualifying seemed impossible. So impossible in fact I forgot about qualifying for the next few years. I moved to San Francisco. I met a bunch of competitive runners. I ran more. I...

Welcome Forrest Butler

Hello Epic people! I first need to say that I have been in awe of The Epic Man since I first started following its progress 4 years ago. I cannot explain the level of stoke that I feel now having the opportunity to join the team this year. It wasn’t until last winter that I officially felt the spark. Mostly, I just felt the strong urge to put my fitness to the test, but was also was looking for some...

Welcome Nick Pelletier

Hello team…hello world, I am joining in on the craziness this year and couldn’t be more excited. My name is Nick Pelletier and I actually live with current team member, Tyler “Mr. Brad” Bradbury. It was watching him cruise to the finish line of last year’s Boston Marathon that lit a fire under me—leaving me thirsty to join in on the fun this year. First was to qualify for Boston, training...
