- Running My First 100 Miler - This is the story from both the runner's perspective and crew's perspective on The Vermont 100. Located in Eastern Vermont, this race has 17,000 ft of ascent and is a blend of roads, horse trails and pavement. A lot of the race runs on private property, so you can only run in these locations during The Vermont 100! Matt got deferred from 2019 and finally was able to run this course in 2022. We hope you enjoy the video as much as we did making it!

ABOUT US:
We are two motivated young professionals who have a love to travel. Currently, Matt is an Engineer and Meg is an Operations Manager. To see the world and the multitude of cultures it offers is something we are striving to do in order to grow into the best individuals we can be.
OUR HISTORY:
In 2015 we began dating and never would have thought about full time travel. Every summer, we would take a vacation to a new location in The United States - Acadia National Park, Provincetown MA and Nashville TN, to name a few. We would always come back wishing our trips were longer and filled with more local culture and cuisine. We just couldnât get enough!
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!!
PLEASE LIKE & SUBSCRIBE!! - Sport
Iâve been up for the race (spectating, crewing, pacing and volunteering, but not running) a dozen or so times over the years. Itâs really great to be able to see it through fresh eyes. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed the video :)
I loved the screaming guy at M-Ville. He just kept yelling for every runner! lol
Wasnât he The best?!?!
@@chasingcultures I don't know how he kept it up. lol This was also my first 100 miler in 2018. Love Vermont.
@@ultratony1732 thatâs amazing! It was such an amazing race, perfect for a first 100!
Congrats Matt! This was fun to watch. It was great to share some miles with you!
Matt said he enjoyed the miles with you too đ congrats on your solo finish - so awesome!!!!
Congrats! I was there too and it was a really nice but challenging race! And kudos to your crew/pacers - really nice of them to do all crewed stations!
Thank you, congrats to you as well!! It was such an awesome race and the people were all so amazing!!
Congratulations!!! It showed the highs and lows, and I could practically feel his pain that last mile. What a fun video, I felt like I was right there with you guys! I've only run 50ks so far, and my husband crews me, so it was great to see all the crew footage, and see the fun you had while supporting your runner! Also all the horse footage. My goal is to run the race AND ride the race in back to back years. Subscribed, looking forward to more adventures!
Aww thank you so much!! It was so much fun and it was amazing getting to watch Matt push through the pain. That is so cool you want to run and ride it - I have a Morgan horse (there are some videos on my channel of him too, lol), and I was thinking the same thing!!! How cool would it be to ride the 100 and then the next year go back and run? I wish you luck on your quest to do that - maybe Iâll see you out there đ đ đââïž
@@chasingcultures my yearling is a Lippitt Morgan! Too funny!!
Nice work!
I did the same extract Velcro trick with my Topos. It does work like a charm.
Yep!!!
Awesome crewing!
Aww thanks!!
Well done! đâ€ïžđ
:)
Congratulations on the finish. I also ran the Vermont 100 this year. Such a fun race with great people.
Thank you so much, I hope you had a great race!! It was so amazing to see all the other runners out there.
Hey i see the BPNđđđŒ congratulations brother. I will be doing my first 100 mile race in april this year
BPN is the best!
Good luck at your race!
Very inspirational video!
Thank you! đ
Letâs go đ
Congratulations on your race!! I liked the video coverage, nice job. Which Salomon pack was that? I donât recall seeing the black with some white before. Thanks!
Thank you!! Matt killed it. The Salomon pack was the Sense Pro 10. He is usually a size medium but got a large, because he heard they ran small. If you order it, Iâd recommend doing the same. This one fit great and worked awesome!
good job dude. I grew up in VT...there are no flat spots !
Thanks man!! You sure are right on that one!!
Senator Bernie Sanders was a track star in New York when he was a younger man
Oh cool!
nice video, whats next for you ?
Thank you đ I have a marathon in Belgium next month, and Matt has ANOTHER 100 miler next weekend! So lots more videos coming out đ
What was the rule for no trekking poles? More details please?
No trekking poles at Vermont! Iâm not 100% sure why, but would assume it is because of the horses đ
Why no trekking poles allowed?
Hey!! I think it is because there are horses, and it could be a hazard with them. Iâm not exactly sure though!
