In this episode of That First Mile Podcast, we dive into the Northwest Passage Ragnar—one of the most demanding relay experiences you can put a team through.
From unpredictable weather and overnight legs to the mental battle that hits when sleep disappears and miles stack up, this breakdown takes you inside the real experience of what it takes to keep moving when everything in your body is asking you to stop.
We talk teamwork, mindset shifts, leadership in the van, the dark hours no one posts about, and the small moments that turn into the biggest memories.

Because every strong finish starts with That First Mile.
