Bill Luttrell was told he no cartilage in his knee and that he shouldn't run.
Instead, he signed up for the Bandera 50K not long after. He made it 21 miles before he called it quits.
Undeterred, he signed up for it again the following year. A few months before the race, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
That didn't stop him, either.
Race day was a rainy, sleeting, snowy mudfest, just to add something extra to the mix.
Then, The Marine (William Kohmuench) joined him and made it his mission to get Luttrell to the finish line. They got into the Chapas aid station and Luttrell was hypothermic. The aid station crew, comprised of folks from "The Big Ass Runner" podcast, took over. Both The Marine and Luttrell finished the race. They went on for another adventure, running the Grand Canyon from the north rim to the south rim.
Luttrell, 65, has another race coming up in the fall: The Great Divide 25K in Colorado.
For him, he is at peace and says the important thing is to believe you can finish.
