Join us two hikers as we attempt to RUN one hundred miles!

PB&J sandwiches and pickle-and-potato skewers help fuel Renee and Tim's latest adventure. The familiar trail provisions come with an unfamiliar assignment: running their first hundred-mile ultramarathon.

thruhikers posted two uploads this week, moving from the pre-race nerves of "So excited! And nervous. And scared. All the feels. We'll keep you posted!" to the muddy reality of "Join us two hikers as we attempt to RUN one hundred miles!" The race recap drew about 240,000 views, making it the week's most-watched new upload and the channel's busiest video right now.

Overnight rain leaves the desert trails sloppy from the start. Daylight gives way to darkness and more rain; when Tim laps Renee, they exchange encouragement before carrying on. The ending is frank about the physical cost. Tim finishes, then goes straight to the medical tent with what the video's on-screen text describes as near-hypothermia. Renee stops at 71 miles because of shin pain and sits beside a heater wrapped in an emergency blanket. Tim's sister supplies a glimpse of his finish by filming the race livestream on her television.

Several viewers focus on Renee's decision to stop rather than push through the pain. Others put the distance she covered into perspective, alongside Tim's completed run.

The subscriber audience held steady, while daily views were below their usual level. Among nearby outdoors channels, Tackle2thePeople had a busier viewing week and Serkan Doğada a particularly substantial one. Away from the race, thruhikers' sauce-binder microscope test remains an older attraction: dried sauce stored like pages, later turned into spaghetti and a bloody mary.

Great job, and even better job Renee for listening to your body and dropping out before the damage got worse.
