Last month I finally got to take part in an endurance event that had been on my bucket list for years. A relay race across Europe, from Strasbourg to Innsbruck, covering 420km as a relay team of six. The event was called Eurotrip and it certainly did not disappoint. Of course the highlights you see would be the smiles, beautiful scenery and happiness along the way but let me tell you, it was much harder than it looked. Facing the elements, extreme fatigue, logistics and challenging terrain for such a distance can be demoralizing at times however it‘s the resilience of a group of individuals that makes it all come together, creating lasting memories for a lifetime.
On this episode of Just In Stride we unpack what was The Eurotrip with the event creator himself, Yoshi Groen.
He’s a great runner in his own right but he just loves putting on these exciting ultra events for the run community and it attracts runners from across the globe.
We spoke about how the idea for the Eurotrip came about, the challenges his team faces behind the scenes and the motivations around why he dedicates his time to putting it all together. In the process we get to know Yoshi on a more personal level and I’m excited to share his running journey with you all.
