Bobby Wessels takes us on a 100-mile offroad run. You will hear his infectious laugh, love of life, determination, commitment, strategic planning, and wisdom. Starting from not even having run a 5km parkrun when deciding to run this race, to running the Addo 100 miler 5 months later. And he says it’s not about the run, but about the challenge. “Do something that scares the hell out of you, of which the chances of failure are real, and give it your best shot.” The Utah 100-miler awaits Bobby and his friend Zander in August.
