Category: Archives

January 1, 2010 By Rachel Tucker

2011 Rock/Creek Race Team-

Sam Linhoss

SAM LINHOSS_2 Age: 30

Occupation: Project Manager, Remington Industries

Running is my passion, my adventure, and my escape. There is nothing better than forgetting the fast paced world and hitting the trail to push my body to the limit, converse with fellow trail runners, or just daydream aimlessly.

As Brooks running proclaims “Runn Happy!”

After my collegiate running days at Tennessee Tech University were finished in 2003, I continued to race full throttle – only it was on the competitive cycling scene. After several successful years of cycling, including winning the Tennessee State Championship series in 2006, I decided to unleash the running beast again in mid-2008. I battled through a hamstring issue after the initial switch back to running, but was quickly able to find my running legs by the last quarter of the year to produce some good results in 2008 and carry that momentum into 2009.

Years Running: 16 years

Favorite Trail Race: Rock Creek River Gorge 10.2

Favorite Training Trail: Mullens Cove Loop in Prentice Cooper, Big Daddy on Lookout Mountain, and the Gahuti Trail at Fort Mountain State Park

Lifelong Running Goals:

Boston Marathon (completed April 2010)

Canadian Death Race

TransRockies Run

Thru-Run the entire Cumberland Trail (once completed)
