For those out there thinking about the UTMB…think no more. After finding out year Over 7000 runners applied to get in the Ultimate 163K race! In the US the time was 1am MST to do it. Just when we thought Western was tough! The Europeans really love their Ultra runs! Cheers to the 2500 that got in!
I wont be back this year, but plan a return and redemption in 2009. I must first go after the Appalachian Trail Record in August.
The Speedgoat 50k hasn’t filled up like UTMB, but we expect a full field come July. Register at speedgoat50k.com for the toughest 50k you’ll ever love!

Thanks for the good words and offer of support. Not being muled means noone will carry anything for me, not even one battery, I also don’t plan on being in the dark with anyone, simply because that extra light is a muling technique. But of course if I get lost and it’s dark, I can’t control that one!
I am also working on a plan called “Clean the AT”. Hoping to pick up some of that large quantity of garbage sorrounding the trailheads. I have to give something back to the trail gods! -Speedgoat Karl
Karl,
I just wanted to see if my registration and check had come for the 50K. Please let me know as this is my target race and I want to make sure I am in.

Great new site Karl.
It’s incredible how fast races are filling up. I’ve felt the frustration of not getting into several races. But, on the other hand, it’ll only help create new and better races. Good luck with the AT. That challenge is one that I would also love to try at some point.
