"In his own words, here is how Vinny describes the food at his aid station: "We have the best food of any aid station you have ever been through!" For breakfast, they offer bacon, cheddar, and potato muffins, as well as sausage. The muffins are served in a crockpot that Vinny says "has a small device in the bottom made of empty [small metal] cans and a metal screen"
"For lunch, Vinny brings out his apricot-glazed meatballs, served warm in an electric frying pan. Vinny says, "I also serve beer-marinated steak on skewers made with a simple marinade of stout beer, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and Dijon mustard." Then there are the "Brat Bites," which Vinny describes as "bratwurst rolled in crescent roll dough and cut into bite-sized pieces." Vinny takes great pride in his food."
Uwharrie 100 Mile is an unrelenting 100-mile race in the Uwharrie Mountains of Central North Carolina held each October. The course consists of five 20.5-mile figure-eight loops with runners hitting the Crossroads aid station at miles 6 and 15 of each loop. Crossroads is captained by Vinny Swendsen, the original course designer who has finished 94 100-mile races. Crossroads is renowned for its expansive, hot food offerings including bacon, cheddar and potato muffins kept warm in a crockpot, waffles, apricot-glazed meatballs, beer-marinated steak skewers, and Brat Bites. Vinny takes great pride in preparing and serving food to runners.
