Robin Crossman tells stories of endurance, betrayal, pennies and onions

A four time death race finisher, and two time race director Robin will partner with Peter Borden to direct the 2020Death Race.  Robin is matter of fact about his endurance background, but between you and me, it includes things like barefoot trail ultras. This episode includes many of the Death Race’s most legendary stories. What do $50 of Pennies, an Onion King at the top of the mountain, and a Greek textbook have in common?  The 2010 Death Race. What about 1,000 sets of stone lifts, Slosh pipes, and a Broken foot? Those all happened in Robin’s 2011 Death Race. Betrayal, carrying kayaks over Bloodroot, and hours of rolling? Those are all part of Robin’s 2012 Death Race.

From Cradle to Grave, Death Race In everyday Life from a four time finisher.
