The Runyaker's Journey

The Runyaker's Journey is a story of two journeys. The first the Horseshoe-to-Horseshoe Runyaking Expedition a solo adventure of paddling and running 1400 miles from Oxford MI to Niagara Falls ON. The journey took fifty-seven days over four summers using a 9.5-ft kayak he calls Swiftee. Secondly it's the vehicle used to tell the Runyaker's life journey which is that of a true-to-life Forrest Gump-like character a boy growing up in Little Chicago a run-down rural area near Clio MI. Despite having slim chances of succeeding he grows into a man that accomplished many remarkable things.
