Stripped down to self-discovery over 135 miles - MS Run the US

Published April 26, 2013

Chellie deGelleke ran a marathon every day for five consecutive days and finished the first leg of the MS Run the US Relay full of admiration.

Brookfield ultra runner takes competition to the next level

Published Feb. 9, 2013

More than a runner, Parker Rios is a survivalist. A husband, father and human resources executive, he has no time or inclination to race the typical 10K or marathon. His pursuits are epic: early-morning training runs of eight hours, pulling a car tire with a rope, and races spanning 135 miles across the snow-covered wilderness of northern Minnesota. Late last month, the 46-year-old from Brookfield won the run division of the Arrowhead 135, the annual race from International Falls to the Fortune Bay Casino in Tower.

Cold beer running

Published Nov. 6, 2012

If you'd asked me a year ago what the first thought that popped into my head when someone mentioned "beer run," my response would definitely not be 13.1 miles.
