The M2M Ekiden Results
Y’all threw down out there on Saturday. Thank you so much for joining us.
You were 47 teams, running on 5 continents, covering more than 1900km at and average pace of less than 4:30/k.
We crunched some numbers (good grief there were a lot of numbers), had to make some tough calls that involved some board room executive decisions, that went to vote, and then a second secret vote, and in the end we have some award winners and full results of the M2M Ekiden.
