We are proud to congratulate Takeshi Yamada our Warehouse Manager on completing the Western States Endurance Run, one of the most respected 100-mile races in the ultrarunning world.

Takeshi crossed the finish line in an impressive 23 hours, 29 minutes, and 46 seconds. Finishing 100 miles in under 24 hours is a remarkable achievement that reflects an extraordinary level of discipline, preparation, endurance, and mental strength.

This was far from Takeshi’s first experience at the 100-mile distance. He has also completed five HURT 100 races, an exceptional accomplishment in its own right. Each finish represents months of training, early mornings, long weekends, and countless miles completed before race day even begins.

Those of us who work with Takeshi see that same determination in the warehouse. He approaches challenges with focus, remains steady under pressure, and understands that meaningful accomplishments are built through consistency and persistence.

Completing the Western States Endurance Run in less than 24 hours is an achievement Takeshi can be especially proud of, and we are proud to have him as part of our team.

Congratulations, Takeshi, on another incredible finish.
