Adv Club - Across The Years
Deanna Springall has multiple ultramarathons under her belt, but has never eclipsed triple digit distance nor captured that 100mi belt buckle. Enter "Across The Years" that begins in 2025 and ends in 2026 in Peoria, AZ.
The HPM Adventure Flag was along for the experience as the event provided a mix of mingling with some of endurance running's biggest names, and the constant pursuit of reaching new distances over and over again!

Stats and Snippets
- Dec 28: 24 laps/ 33.86 miles
- We started at 9 AM and it got fairly warm by the afternoon. As evening rolled around, there was a particularly encouraging sign about running at night and being "Dedicated!".
- Dec 29: 12 laps/16.93 miles
- I started about 8:30 and laughed when I saw that someone had cleverly modified the encouraging sign from the night before to question if we were "Medicated?". My big mistake was too much mileage on the first day - by the afternoon, I called an early stop because I was beat.
- Dec 30: 18 laps/25.39 miles
- I don’t sleep well after long distances, so I was back at it around 4 AM. The sunrise was lovely
- Dec 31: 17 laps/23.98 miles
- Ditto on the sleep. Got started about 6:30 AM, witnessing another lovely sunrise. This was my day to hit 100 miles and claim that buckle. Set my new goal of 200K.
- Jan 1: 19 laps/ 26.81 miles
- Got to 200K with 126.97 miles and set my new goal of 150 miles
- Jan 2: 17 laps/23.98 miles
- I cheered Ann Trason as she hit 100 miles, then I hit 150 miles
- Total: 151.96 miles!!!
