Cory’s life has been a race against time, a relentless pursuit of glory on the trail. But as he faces the grueling ascent of the Barr Trail, it’s not just the mountain that stands in his way—it’s the shadows of his own doubts and the haunting echoes of a presence he can’t explain. Every step forward feels like a step into the unknown, with nature itself turning against him in a contest that challenges not just his body, but his very soul.

In the heart of Colorado’s rugged wilderness, Cory is not just racing against other runners; he’s racing against the elements, the mountain, and something far more sinister. As the trail twists and turns, leading him deeper into a battle between man and nature, Cory must confront his deepest fears and the powerful forces that seek to break him.

The Burnout and The Race is a pulse-pounding journey through the treacherous terrain of the Rockies and the uncharted depths of the human spirit. Will Cory conquer the summit, or will the mountain claim him as its own? In this battle of endurance, every second counts, and every second could be his last.
