Join us for a raw and unfiltered journey into one of the country's toughest ultramarathons at the inaugural Jigger Johnson 100 Mile. Participants are stripped away of the typical race markings and crew and must rely on maps, GPS and gut instinct to successfully navigate this wild and woolly route through the heart of the White Mountains.

I'm not sure I am ready to relive this experience... but yet here we are. 🙂

Incredible event and I’m super proud of what we were able to accomplish out there! Thanks for putting this together.

[@seatownfan]

Motivational! Good to hear the stories before the race. Cool to see a race in an area that is not usually shown. 👍

Mike asked me to write a song: When I ran the jigger. It couldn't get bigger. I didn't figure. See the picture clearer. When I ran the jigger. Every time I shiver. muddy miles of fears. So I smile in tears. My mind in gears. Sublime mindless years. Thank you

You're a poet and didn't even know it.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

This was excellent. Nice work! Jigger Johnson is on my radar. I ran the Kilkenny Ridge Race 50 a couple of years ago which was incredibly challenging. JJ100 is next level 👀 🔥

[@joshuaadsit7741]

This will be one of the premier races in the States. Amazing organization, leadership and landscapes. Well done!!!

[@vtrider82]

Awesome for Aravaipa to showcase a Northeast ultra.

Wonderful video. Having run those trails, it’s hard to wrap my head around what they accomplished. Bravo to everyone

[@neals8596]

This looks awesome! Having lived in VT a bit and just barely touched the White Mts. I’m very interested to give this a shot - certainly as an Aravaipa-managed project in a cool place Thanks for sharing your cinematic work and the story

[@Dr.RBZultrarunningnewbie]

Enjoyed watching - wish I could have my hubby into these types of challenges, He's excellent at navigating but not a runner, more of a stroller. I'd have some challenges finding my way, for sure. Congratulations to everyone - awesome!

[@sandstromj]

Great motivation for next year’s race on Finnish fells. And those runners have grit, everyone on the start line is a winner.

[@paulpurves484]

Can confirm, the Hancock trails are no fun - no toenail is still recovering 😅. This was in my backyard and somehow I missed it. Great job out there everyone!

[@Loop0001rath]

Please I would love to save the music played in this video! But most importantly, awesome effort for production and participants. Thank you for sharing with us

[@sissyrosebrock9732]

Watching events like this is so inspirational, but I do have one question.....why is it necessary to drop the F bomb? Is there not another word?

[@grc207]

If you have to ask this question then I can tell you have never run Jigger Johnson.

[@dannymeske3821]

Why do marathon runners ruin their health with all the junk food I see them eat...can't they eat healthy carbs?
