Eric Grossman fell in love with running as a young Kentucky high school freshman.  Since then, his love for distance running has lead him to numerous wins, including a 2008 USATF 50 mile national championship.  As his life has evolved, so has his love of running. Now, he finds his sense of adventure in fast packing and chasing a FTK (fastest known time) record across the Colorado Trail.

Kentucky is birthing a new 100 mile trail run and we sit down with Race Director Susan Howell to talk about this October arrival.
