On August 30, a stranger named Joe Koyle met with Dillon Quitugua and set out to run 50 miles together on the 26th of September. They trained for a solid 28 days, putting in about 200 miles before the actual #South2North Double Marathon (52.4 mile) run. In that month, their physical and mental state of being slowly changed and they began to feel different about life. A lot of anxiety and traumas held within by both runners were finally let go allowing them to run without the feelings weighing them down.

Alongside them, were an amazing group of people which worked as pacers and aid stations to support this goal of theirs. In fact this was the first event that propelled us as a Tribe. The amount of love, support, and effort given by these people are prime examples of what “it takes a village” means.
