Mind over Miles

Mind over Miles Race Details

The inspiration for the first annual Mind over Miles 5K Run and 1M Walk came from our Board member, Bret Buike (“Buckeye Bret”) who donated to Recovery Resources, all the proceeds of his third annual Goggins Challenge.

Event Background

• Challenge Concept: The Goggins 4x4x48 challenge is a simple concept that was pioneered by ultramarathon runner David Goggins.
• Challenge Structure: Depending on your level of ability, you either walk or run 4 miles every four hours for 48 hours which totals 48 miles.
• Vision: Bret had a vision to make the weekend one focused on recovery, mental health, and veterans’ suicide prevention.
• Event Highlight: We were proud to have him complete his challenge at the Mind over Miles event.
