Volcanic! That’s the winner of the little election we did. We asked you which was your most favorite Go Beyond Racing race. Volcanic 50K/25K got 24% of the votes and beat the second place race, Mountain Lakes 100, by nine votes. Coming in third place was the Mt. Hood Races with 14% of the votes. […]
Election season is exhausting. All the negativity can really get you down. But we want you to vote one more time, and for something that brings you joy.
