Big cheers to PrimaLoft Western Territory Manager, Russ Angrignon, and his wife, Delena, who survived the very challenging 75-miles trail running event, The North Face Canadian Death Race, co-sponsored by PrimaLoft.
The race that was held last weekend in Grande Cache, Alberta, Canada gathered about 1,200 elite racers. Among them, there were 215 teams of 3 to 5 persons that entered in the Team category, with 187 teams finishing the race within 24 hours. In the Solo category, out of the 231 individual racers who participated 73 were able to finish the race.
Not only did Russ and Delena complete the race in less than 22 hours (out of 24 hours required) but they placed extremely well - 34th and 35th respectively! Delena placed 3rd in her age category and Russ 11th. Both ran the race unsupported and had to bring extra water and enough food to carry them through the entire 24 hours of the race.
"Participating is an accomplishment in itself," says Russ Angrignon. "Finishing provides a unique sense of self confidence, but most importantly there are truly amazing friendships that are formed amidst an atmosphere of challenge."
Congratulations Russ and Delena! What an inspiration you are!
