"...toughest race in the world"

    Hello Everyone!

    Most know that I just completed Race Across the West (RAW), a 928 mile race from California to Colorado, in which I was first in my age group and 3rd place overal men's division. I want to thank all that supported me, trained with me, encouraged me and watched the "dot" from the tracker during the race. Some of you called me during the race to spur me on and it meant a lot. A race like this is not done alone. I had a team of 5 volunteers that followed me, fed me, cheered for me, told me when to sleep, etc...equally important was all of you here at home cheering for me.

    RAW is the first 3rd of the much bigger Race Across America (RAAM). RAAM is often referred to as "the toughest race in the world". This past weekend,I registered for RAAM 2024! The Race starts June 11th, 2024 and there is a 12 day time limit to go 3000 miles coast to coast. As with RAW, I will need a crew of 6-8 people to directly support me during the race. This is also a huge financial endeavor. 

    I am writing today in search of people that might want to crew for my race and also looking for businesses that might want to sponsor my effort. 

    If you have any interest or have questions please reach out to me at mike.tpoint@hotmail.com or call 540-760-7015

    Thanks again for all the love!
