Chilliwack’s Mike VanderKwaak ran 60 miles last year for his 60th birthday.

This year, his wife Patti VanderKwaak decided to do the same for her 60th, but add a little bit of elevation. She took to the Teton mountain range in Wyoming and ran up and down the mountains for 60 km.

The long-distance running couple is well known in Chilliwack’s running community.

Their friend, Bruce Gritter, said “it’s pretty extraordinary, however you slice it.”

“It’s a case of ‘whatever you can do dear, I can do better,’” he added.
