Adam Engst ’89, the FLRC president and FLRC Challenge creator, sought to use virtual technology to bring the community back to running. Like many pandemic-born ideas, however, the FLRC challenge stuck around and has reoccurred yearly since its inception. Over the FLRC Challenge’s first three years, the Ultra Challenge has been completed only 22 times by just 13 different people. Engst and other FLRC runners encourage this diversity through the challenge’s motto “Cover the Ground,” a slogan plastered on the backs of the FLRC Challenge’s t-shirts. Aside from completing all of the challenge courses or conquering the 100k Ultra Challenge, Engst offers other accolades for especially dedicated runners.
