Dave Wakefield

Topeka, Kansas

Daveʼs 2209 season was full of personal accomplishments and helping others

achieve their goals. He finished second in the Three Days of Syllamo and was

inspired by a fellow runner he came across in the Leadville 100, who pushed

through his own mental blocks to finish with a personal record for the race. This

inspired him to finish his first 100 miler, the Ozark Trail 100, later in 2009. Daveʼs

goals for 2010 are to scour the Kokopeli trail in preparation for his speed record

attempt in 2011, and to be as much of a trail junkie as is possible while managing

to keep his job, the roof from leaking, and his family from alienating him. Whether

he is running, going to work, or fixing the roof, he knows that his XT Wing 2ʼs are

rugged enough to go through anything.
