Hal Koerner,
Rogue Valley Runners' owner and top dog, headed east to Salt Lake City this past week to take in new products and ideas at this summer's
Outdoor Retailer Trade Show. He couldn't get away, however, without going head to head with
Tony Krupicka, former RVR employee and current Leadville Trail 100 Mile champion. They fought it out on the Uphill Treadmill Challenge. Fifteen minutes at a 10% grade. How did they fare? Hal was heard saying, "My arms went numb." In the end, Tony just out-leaned our local southern Oregon hero.

Gotta love
this story in the July 2009 Outside Magazine about our hometown girl Jenn Shelton.
Written by Christopher McDougal, the author of
Born To Run, the short piece is a good read.

Awesome. Just curious, how many miles did Tony and Hal rack up in those fifteen minutes?
1.89 to 1.86 but we were smashed by an Collegiate 5k champ 2.04
