Thanks for checking out our videos. The phrase "Run Steep Get High" was coined on a training run in Silveron, Colorado one of my favorite places in the world to run. We hope to inspire you to reach for that higher peak and goal in life by living "The Steep Life"!

Glad to hear the people of Jerome are embracing Cocodona 250 runners. Last year was kinda weird with the strict rules; no pictures, no noise, no stopping in any of the shops... that new route looks great too.
As I left Jerome with my pacer, an old man working in his yard yelled out to us “I don’t see the whole town falling apart from you guys passing through “. Was perfect There really was this sense that we were invading their space but this one guy let us know that was BS He didn’t mind at all. Thanks Jam Jam for all you do 👍.

you know its going to be a banger of a day when I see a new Run Steep Get High vid in my feed

That is a mountain lion paw print. Bear prints will have claw marks with them and are more triangle shaped. While cat prints are more oval and will not have claw marks, because they retract them.

Another good one Jam-Jam. I really like these scouting/training run videos. Gives both racers, and those that will never step foot on the course, a real feel of the experience.

Thank you for show casing our beautiful home state! Your enthusiasm is palpable.

Thank you for documenting this. So excited about this new route. I may be in nighttime through here, so extra good to see your journey in the light. 😍😍😍

It should be more exciting than last year, great video content. Have been to Jerome years ago before the trails hit me, very cool area, want to return.

As a Canadian, I will love this weather no matter what next week, first trip to az

Awesome run guys. That race is on the to do list sometime. Love the tracking stop. I know many may suggest this is a cougar track do to lack of claws and the 5th toe less visible. However, it appears to be the front foot of a small black bear based on the shape of the pad, position of the toes In relation, and a quick spin of the camera showed other prints with the claws and 5 toes. Courious what he/she was checking out on the side of the trail.

After spending years running west texas and the palo duro canyon, these videos get me so pumped up about running Arizona. Would love to be able to train for and run this race sometime in the future!

I am pumped to see Eric givin' this a go!

“Bobcats are lame.” Haha! I once saw one along the Rio Grande in South Fork, CO. that changed my mind about that…it had been eating well…it was huge!😳

That’s a mountain lion print. Mountain lion claws are retracted most of the time and that’s why you can’t see the nails in the print. You can also tell by the wide paw and it looks to be less than 4in across. That’s an adult mountain lion.

Fkn epic jam jam. I’m going to be in AZ may 2-6 while the cocodona is going on. Just vacationing and relaxing with my wife. I’d love to pace for 10 miles if anyone needs! So jealous of everyone participating. I’ll be glued to the livestream again for sure

[jecballou]

Eric's shirt is incredibly awesome.

[ojuice]

Paw print definitely looks like a mountain lion to me.

[colepurdy]

Definitely a black bear based on number of toe prints and shape of the posterior pad print

[tartinitrumpet]

lol this guy running with a button down shirt like he's on a zoom call at home

[goodnewsrunning]

Pretty sure the print is mtn lion especially with no visible claws in the print.

[matthewcozart]

Bear print. Loins walk in their own prints. And it had claw marks.
