Hey everyone, I’m Dr. Germain Nkede from Maryland. I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a hybrid athlete. I recently signed up for the Grand Canyon Trail Marathon in October, which will be my first trail marathon and easily the biggest athletic challenge I’ve taken on so far. I joined because I want to learn from people who have already gone through the highs and lows of trail running, climbing, and mountain adventures. Looking forward to learning from all of you and following your journeys along the way. What’s one thing you wish you knew before your first trail race? 👀
