What do you get when you send a professional runner and a professional bodybuilder to the Grand Canyon and challenge them to create their own race? An adventure of a lifetime. Pictured: Melissa Gacek (left), with her nutrition coach and friend, Kristin Rowell, (right). The dynamic duo recently completed the Grand Canyon Rim to Rim 50K Run Challenge, a descent from the South Kaibab Trailhead down to Ribbon Falls with a two bridge crossing and ascent up Bright Angel Trailhead, for a total of 32.3 miles for the day, including the run to the car (LOL). #creativeadrenaline #backtonature #discovercreation #solesisters #rimtorim #ultrarunners #nolimits #dreambig #goafteryourdreams #mastersrunning #ultrarunning #grandcanyon
