PIKES PEAK MARATHON 2020 - Onward & Upward DGR!

[@Vo2maxProductions]

BIG CONGRATS on the WIN and great FAST TIME too! I've got a video clip of you running down with about 400m to go. Let me know if you want it. Really awesome work out there!

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

Ah thanks man, didn’t know you were even there. Thanks for watching and supporting the running community!

[@timlaporte5231]

Seth, I follow your channel all the time. Watching all you do to love and serve your family while living this brilliant lifestyle as husband, father, and super dedicated runner enthusiast...I'm so impressed and awed by your victory at Pike's Peak. The heart of a lion, and a poet in running shoes. I'm so pleased that as a 73 year old runner I can still be surprised and overwhelmed by a millenial with a heart.

So grateful for your support Christopher 🙏🏻

[@thedolenorway]

I had goosebumps watching you crush the ascent, and teary eyes hearing the support from the crowd on the way down. So happy for you Seth!

[@ricodelavega4511]

he inspires others! months back, I added a comment after one of his runs "you better believe he buttered those shoes as well." Looks like he read it and was inspired from a viewer. Update several hours later: it was a strava comment on one of his runs. A few days laters, it was in one of his videos. Anyway, I hope he sells tons of shirts with it (tho he probably needs to win more races to make hella bucks on it).

[@senorchall]

Can we talk about how True Love is the real MVP. 4 boys, including a new baby are not easy to always be taking on by herself while out for long runs, trail weekends, etc. Seth, you’re and inspiration, but we know it’s really a team effort. Great job Demoor clan!

Indeed. That’s a wonderful relationship. She takes care of the kids, cooks and cleans while Seth does his hobby.

A massive congrats Seth! You're a true inspiration. I'm still recovering from an ankle injury, but feeling stronger every single day. If I had to set some goals for the upcoming season I would definitely go for a sub 1:55 800m (1:55.72 at the moment) and a sub 15:00 5k (15:25 for now). I was feeling so strong before the injury and can't wait to be back. Let's BUTTER MY BREAD!!

This has to be the most inspiring KZbin channel and lovely community on the internet.

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE!! I appreciate you 🙏🏻

[@code_report]

​ @Seth James DeMoor Thank you for being such an inspiration and building a community focusing on such positive values aka "seeking beauty, working hard and loving each other." I have been watching the daily vlog for several months now and I went from running an average of 134km/month over the first 5 months of the year to running 418k in June and 454km in July. I start everyday by watching your vlog and it always leaves a smile on my face. I am in the best running shape of my life right now and I don't think that would be the case if I hadn't started watching your vlogs. Thank you for all the work you put into your videos and congrats on the W! Awesome to see how pumped the community is for you 🙂

I found your channel last year because I was looking for the Pikes Peak 2019 marathon result. I was impressed with how quickly you got your video online and even more on how enthusiastically you cheered on your fellow athletes, so I subscribed. I have been following you since and seeing the 2020 edition made my day. Your hard work in your training and on your channel is paying of. Well deserved. Congratulations.

All the hard work paid off Seth, this gave me chills. You're an awesome person and runner!!

[@BarefootRadan]

Thanks for showing us all how to ‘fight’..... Whether it be personal or communal, specific or general, against injustice, disease, circumstance or simply the daily grind.....we all show up to ‘fight’ - not literally the aggressive fight with fists and fury; rather the best of ourselves and everything we have to offer in taking a step forward. Sometimes we win, and it is a dream come true. And sometimes we do not. So as you fight, in this run, in this day or in this life, realize we do not lose if we slow down, fail or ultimately die. We win, not only by crossing the line first, having the most success or living the longest - there are many who have these things and are desperately lost. Rather, we win by the way we live: how we live, why we live and the manner in which we live. This is true for all we do and whenever we run. So go on and live (and run): live pure, live beautiful, live wild and free. And do not doubt, that when you do so, you also contribute to the silent masses: In the way that one star among many may seem insignificant, but together with the many they provide a night sky that is at once stunning and transformative in the inspiration it provides.
