#122: Stories from the 2026 Long Play Trail Run

The Long Play Trail Run was back for another year out at theRidge Manor Trailhead! This race starts you off along the Withlacoochee River before diving into Croom Forest for the "Croom Loop!" On the chat, we've got Michele Moreno, Rebecca Connor, and Kat Michlik! Rebecca actually placed 2nd Overall for the women with a time of 5:29:54 and Kat followed strong placing 3rd Overall for the women with a time of 5:44:50. Even more impressive—both Rebecca and Kat only stepped into the trail and ultra scene in 2025 and are already making big moves.Michele has an UltraSignup history that back to 2019, she’s the seasoned presence in the group—bringing years of grit, experience, and consistency to every start line. She’s even done the Skunk Ape 100 Mile. Races like this aren’t just about placements, and Michele continues to show what it means to stay committed to the long game.
