The Dude abides.
If you know Kyle King, you know he had to wear a crop-top.
A five-time state track and field champion back in his Coupeville High School days, the middle of Randy and Laurie King’s three kids has always enjoyed being, um, we’ll call it fashion-forward.
And also really fast and always raring for a new challenge.
Though this time, all but the hardiest of folks might have blanched.
While he competed at the 2020 US Olympic Team Trials in the marathon, King has never been an ultra-runner.
Until, in his final days before being transferred from Colorado to Virginia, the Marine Corps captain decided to team up with running pal Charles Remillard and go for a leisurely run.
As in, the duo ran all 485 miles of the Colorado Trail … in 10 days.
And lived to tell the tale!
Check out the video below, which captures the highs and lows, the pain and the glory, and all the crop-tops and suspicious meat products.
Love this! Super happy for these guys.
Wow! So impressive, but talk about gluttons for ultimate punishment! Kyle, you remain amazing in your ability and drive.
