WHAT DID HE GET?
If you thought you had what it takes to finish all 6 of Peak.com's races; Reeder Fahnestock was the only one willing to prove it. Over the course of an entire year, Reeder kept his body in peak physical condition in an effort to finish what race organizers thought to be impossible. He endured freezing and torrential rains in a March snowshoe Marathon, a distance many only try on pavement and in sneakers. He endured 100 miles of Illinois mud, snow, rain and frigid winds. He completed one of the toughest 50 mile races in the country in scaling high mountain peaks, running through forests of nettle and smashing his quads into oblivion. He finished the unfinishable in our nations only "Death Race," completing tasks many could on shake their head at; never mind trying to wrap their head around them. He rode his mountain bike for 6 hours on a 6 mile loop up and around the terrible mountains known as Joe's and Fusters. He returned to the same mountains in November, to run 100 miles and claim his prize. After completing all of these daunting tasks, Reeder, who showed no fear through-out, claimed the coveted and long awaited $10,000 Peaks Purse. Reeder now stands a man alone, on top as the pinnacle of many. Many who dreamed, but the only one who tried.
