Vita-Mix was part of a real running epic! We were thrilled to be able to provide power smoothies to fuel Marshall Ulrich, age 57, and Charlie Engle, age 43, along the route of Running America 08. These two men are nothing short of amazing—neither rain, snow, sleet nor hail (they did face all that!) kept them from completing the 3,045 mile journey. Running up to 70 miles a day required 10-12,000 calories, and frequent liquid meals were the easy, energy-efficient answer! The nutrient dense, energy-packed Vita-Mix smoothies kept them going strong.

On Tuesday, November 4, Marshall completed the last leg of the journey and touched the top step of New York City Hall. Charlie, who sustained an injury earlier in the run, completed the marathon on his bike, lending support and encouragement to his friend Marshall all along the way. One incredible accomplishment for two amazing athletes! Special congratulations to Marshall for setting a new Men’s Grand Master and Masters records for the fastest crossing of America (USA) on foot.
