Yo-yo'ing the C&O Canal with Brad Distad

  • Summary

  • A journey of 369 miles begins with a single step.

    In June 2024, Brad Distad set out to try something no one in recorded history had done before: a "yo-yo" of the historic C&O Canal. Running 184.5 miles from "mile 0" in Washington D.C. to trails' end in Cumberland, Maryland... and then turning around and running back.


    8 days, 9 hours, and 58 minutes later, he successfully completed that journey!

    Brad is a husband, father of 6, a teacher, a mentor, an experienced ultra-runner, a More Miles athlete, and so much more. In this episode we get to know him, his inspiration for this challenge, what it took, and what he learned through the experience.

    Absolutely everyone can find a piece of wisdom and inspiration in his story - we hope you enjoy!
