Dakota Jones, co-founder of the nonprofit Footprints, plans to run the 100-mile Jackpot race in February 2025 to raise funds for climate action projects. Drawing from experiences at Footprints' annual camp, he aims to channel his racing into a larger purpose, hoping to break the American record while exploring new running challenges. The camp emphasizes community involvement and skill application in climate action, creating a collective impact. This race not only serves personal goals for Jones but also highlights the importance of community and environmental responsibility.
Running 100 miles at Jackpot 100 Mile seeks to raise funds for Footprints, a nonprofit helping climate action projects; aims to break the American record.
The 100-mile challenge will test my limits in a flat environment, pushing personal capability while supporting community-led climate initiatives through Footprints.
The motivation for the race came from our Footprints camp discussions about leveraging individual skills for impactful climate action projects, aiming to inspire others.
Racing demands commitment that often diverts attention from family and community, thus running for Footprints allows blending personal challenge with social responsibility.
