Pete Ripmaster has dedicated his life to using running as a fundraising tool, with a focus on his Owl Runs 100s project and raising money for the Owl Research Institute.
Despite his ultrarunning accomplishments, Ripmaster values how the running community has impacted his life more than his race wins or difficult challenges.
A life-changing encounter with a snowy owl during the ITI 350 Mile in Alaska in 2014 inspired Ripmaster to start his Owl Runs 100s project and focus on fundraising for a cause.
Ripmaster's Owl Runs 100s project involves running a 100-mile distance in each state while emphasizing fundraising for the Owl Research Institute, showcasing his dedication to using running for a larger purpose.
