Time to start thinking about suffering again! Registration will open on January 1st at 7am MST, at Ultrasignup. Entries will be limited to 250 runners, up 50 from last year. Some decent prize money, and a “bonus” for a record, is on tap this year again. The course will remain the same as last year. I Read More
The Red Bull Human Express is coming to a close. I have one more media tour in NYC the next two days, then I’ll be back to reality and regular life. Some of the info given may be a little confusing to some. 14 lbs of bacon was consumed by myself and crew. I did Read More
Let the games begin! Tomorrow morning I’ll be headed out to run approximately 2000 ish miles retracing the steps of the Pony Express Trail. This run commemorates the 150th anniversary of those crazy mailmen on horses, running mail and messages from Sacramento, California to St. Joseph, Missouri. It’ll be a long trek, a true adventure, Read More
First a look at the Wasatch 100 and who’s fast….. 1. Nick Clark 3-1. We have to give Nick the nod. He’s had a great year. 4th at Western 16:05, second at the Speedgoat, ran 4 hours flat at Pikes Peak a few weeks ago. He’s the man to beat, unless Irv’s torture chamber gets Read More
This year we could almost consider this a UTMB stage race. Starting in a downpour 2300 or so runners from all over the world took off from Chamonix on a journey only to be ended quickly at 30k, only about 18 miles into the race. In the lead at the time was Killian Jornet (no surprise Read More
And now we’re off to Italy for the Skyrunning Championships. A 42k run with 4000 meters of climb, yah, that’s bigger than the Speedgoat race. The UTMB race was cancelled due to inclement weather and a possible landslide. Pretty disappointing, but a reasonable decision for the race committee to make. We’ll report back with more Read More
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
