We had one glitch this year…..as things happen where a few lead runners took a wrong turn at Sinners Pass.  While the wrong turn was made, the distance is considered a wash as the route they took was .4 miles further than the loop around Mary Ellen Gulch.   There were roughly 6 runners that did Read More

1)  The race is Saturday July 31, starting at 630am at ENTRY #1 at Snowbird.  This is a different location than last year.  It is a 10-15 minute walk from the Cliff Lodge.  We recommend you drive to the start to make it easier when you finish. 2)  Check-in is at ENTRY #1 at the Read More

We’re about 6.5 days away from Ultrarunning’s “Superbowl”.  We just witnessed the track meet, and it was awesome.  Let’s hope myself and a few other fast guys can entertain the world running around the San Juans. The Top contenders: Speedgoat Karl 2-1.  I give myself the nod as last year’s winner and clockwise record run.  Read More

No doubt this will be the toughest “odds” I’ve ever done.  Picking the winners of this great race is certainly gambling.  The heat plays a huge factor.  A few WS rookies up front stand out as big overall favorites, but it’s a long way from Squaw to Auburn, and anything can happen. Some of the Read More

Let me explain:  first, I’ll say “battered” should be “broken”, cuz my shoulder is broken now too. 🙂  See you all at Hardrock! The last 6 weeks have been tough.  Crashing backwards climbing over a dead tree started it all at Zane Grey.  We all know I broke my arm there.  The status on that Read More

 ONLY 4 SPOTS LEFT FOR A CHANCE TO RUN THE SPEEDGOAT 50K, register now! A few questions have been recently asked about my new Hoka runnin’ shoes. “Why would I buy shoes that Karl crashed in at Zane Grey?” “Did Karl crash because the Hoka’s have a higher base?” “Did the shoes make Karl stumble?” Like Read More

Hard to say what’s gonna happen this weekend in regards to me running the Jemez 50 mile.  I’ve been officially cleared to run if I want…that’s pretty cool only 4 weeks after a broken wing at Zane Grey.  Will I “race”?  No, not likely, the risk factor is still there if I crash….I tend to Read More

That’s 165.70 in miles!  The Jerker finally has rebounded taking “Fat Boy’s” american 24 hour record down, and Rae Clark’s “absolute american record”…whatever that means. 🙂 !  We’ve been waiting for Scott to do something big….well, he did something big!   Hell of a run Scott!  Congrats on an incredible effort!  Maybe we’ll see you back Read More

One of my favorite 100 milers happens this weekend in Virginia.  The Massanutten 100.  This race is a rocky one and moderately hilly to my standards.  Total climbing in the 18,000′ range.  The course is somewhat different this year, starting at a different location. It should be a real competitive race up front.  Noone reallly Read More

Miwok 100K happens Saturday, the field is “pretty solid”. 🙂 Here’s my picks: THE MEN 1. Anton Krupicka 5-2.  We all know if he has no injury issues, he should be gone daddy gone.  He’s been training hard, comes from 8000′ ish and should be able to challenge Mac Daddy’s record if has his day in the sun.
