Wesley Shoup-The Longest Day Ever

Wesley Shoup went from being a football player to running ultramarathons. We chat with Wesley about his journey to running ultramarathons and what he hopes to accomplish on The Longest Day ever. On Saturday June 24th he plans on running from sunup to sundown. He hopes to run 50 miles but is shooting for 75. The start and finish are located at the Casino/Village Pier on St Simons Island, GA and he'll follow a loop around the Island.
He will be 100% self supported except for inspiration from those that come out to join him and cheer him on and bring him pop tarts.

Wesley is also hoping to raise funds for a local non profit. All proceeds raised will go to The Farm at Oatland. https://www.givesignup.org/DonationWebsite/TheLongestDayEver The Farm at Oatland North is an animal sanctuary located on the north end of St. Simons Island. In the 1700's the land was known as Oatland Plantation. The Farm rescues and provides sanctuary for abused, neglected, and abandoned animals. At The Farm, animals learn to trust again and have a chance to thrive and live out their lives in peace, comfort, dignity, and love.
