The Moab 240 Endurance Run….and they’re off!
We were the VERY first to arrive at Race Headquarters to help set up Candice’s 240 mile race in the Moab, Utah area.
For the past week there was a crew out running and riding dirt bikes in order to put up thousands of “dragons” (flags) to mark the route of the Moab 240 for the runners who will be running the course in less than a week.
Here is our good friend, Adam, leaving “bread crumbs” for the runners….
The whole area at Race Headquarters was soon bustling with constant activity—day and night.
My Danny and I set up the “Merch” tent….
Our very first sale to our friend and fellow volunteer from Canada, Randy….
Another new friend, Ed, really enjoyed doing the dishes after every meal. It turns out that his dad lives just a block away from Nuestra Casa, our home in Leisure World. Ed has actually run the Turkey Trot in Leisure World! And his cousin lives only two blocks away from our cabin in Pine!
Just a few of the supplies for the fifteen aid/rest/sleep stations….
Candice and Garrett as the 240 runners lined up to start the race….
Ed Jones is a kind gentle man, and from the start he has supported Candice in her vision to create this race and dedicate it to his son.
We surprised her with an early birthday present….two books that we put together about her Guinness Ultra Marathon World Record.
The books included a variety of news articles, interviews, podcasts, and even Candice’s own poems, thoughts, and writings about her life, running, and world record accomplishment.
[Dan's addition: Vicky is so sweet giving me partial credit for these books. Actually she worked hours and hours on them, making each page "just right." I got to watch her pour her love into them. I love watching her be a Mom. She was born to it.]
We said goodbye to our dear daughter with tears in our eyes and love in our hearts….
….and we’re off to camp, hike, and dance on the Mogollon Rim in the Coconino National Forest….a playground that we love so much !

Best days of our lives….
We have found each other. We have found peace and contentment.
