Exploration is at the heart of our family's life. As passionate trail runners and ultra-runners, nature is a healing part of our lives.
We would like to thank you for supporting Lyndsey Yang in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid the National Park Foundation in their mission to protect, preserve, and connect people everywhere to the wonder of parks.
We’ve always wanted to go explore the nature of Montana and visit Glacier National park to run the scenic trails past beautiful lakes and up to the glacier.
What has been your favorite adventure experience?My favorite adventure experience has undoubtedly been completing my first hundred-mile race at the legendary Western States 100. This journey wasn't just about covering the distance; it was a profound exploration of endurance, determination, and the sheer beauty of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Running through the different terrains and meeting my fellow runners along the course were so inspiring and beautiful. From the first blind runner attempting the race to the very last official finisher.
What would you do with $10,000?As a family we’d use this money to continue my husband’s journey to run across America. His mom passed away suddenly from a fall and he wants to raise awareness about physical therapy and all the ways it can help increase life expectancy for elders. We’d travel from Las Vegas through the rest of the U.S. as he’s already done the LA to Las Vegas section. We’d explore America’s natural beauty and get lots of running in along the way.
