Dima Voyt, a Redmond Ukranian resident ran 100 miles in one day! Why?? He was raising awareness (and funds) for the challenges facing Ukranian amputees -- physical mobility, mental health, and financial needs. It's estimated 80,000 amputees are war related.
Dima beat the hot weather running mostly at night. He left from his home in Marymoor at 12:01 a.m. and finished the next day in the Downtown park about 7:45 p.m. Dima is an ultramarathoner; he ran almost four marathons that day!
A few ran alongside him from time to time. Some stops: Lake Sammamish, the Sammamish River Trail, Kenmore, Seward Park, Washington University, 3-legs in Bellevue, the SR520 bridge, Totem Lake, and HOME to fanatic Ukranians. and local cheerleaders. I learned about the event from Steve Fields. The iced drinks were cool 😅
