Karl Melzter grabbed his lunch pail, put on his hard hat and punched the clock in the innagural Run Rabbit Run 100 mile endurance race. Just another day at the office for Karl as he took 1st place and the largest cash purse ever in a 100 mile ultra marathon. Karl posted a winning time of 19:16:02 in route to his 33rd win at the century distance, more than any runner on earth.
The Jameson Coffee team was in Steamboat Springs, CO to support Karl and caffeinate runners and their crews with SpeedgoatKarl’s 100 Mile Blend. Watching the action first hand gives you a new perspective on the sport. Most impressive was watching Karl come down Spring Creek 6-minutes back in 2nd only to emerge atop the hill at Dry Lake and leave 12-minutes up in 1st place never looking back at mile 73 when the real racing begins.

Congratulations Karl!
