Then we sit down with professional trail runner and Merrell Team Manager Coree Woltering.

Local Legend #2 - Chad Salyer

Trail Mix is now a weekly endeavor! We're switching from every two weeks to every Wednesday to bring our listeners more of the content they have been asking for. In this episode of Trail Mix, Nick and Steven sit and share some time with Chad Salyer, an ultra runner from the DFW area of Texas. We talk with Chad about finding running when life threw some changes his way, and how he uses a purpose bigger than himself to push through when the going gets tough. We will be fundraising for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to help support Chad's cause. Thanks for listening! Leave a 5-star rating and drop a comment if you have a few seconds.
