Speedgoat 50k Entry begins January 1st

December 17 2010, 9:21 am

It’s that time of year again to sign up for the toughest 50k in town.  Last year we closed 2 months before the actual race date.  This year I expect to close earlier.  We will be accepting 250 runners this year, up 50 from last season.  More goats means more fun and entertainment for me.  Read More

The final showdown in Marin! The North Face 50

November 30 2010, 8:08 am

See what a little cash purse brings……. I’ve decided not to do “odds”, but to rather just make my picks for this year’s North Face 50.  With the worldwide talent, it’s gonna be a tough one.  I had some help with names from Bryon Powell at irunfar.  I let him do all the research, I’ll Read More

More cool Red Bull Human Express stats, and why it went so well!

November 3 2010, 9:28 am

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

The Wasatch 100 and a Human Express adventure!

September 9 2010, 1:03 pm

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

Jez Bragg takes UTMB! US runner Mike Wolfe finishes 2nd!

August 29 2010, 6:03 am

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

Tour Du Mont Blanc…..The Euro Superbowl!

August 15 2010, 8:58 am

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

Kevin Schilling and Keri Nelson take the Goat Leg!

August 1 2010, 12:55 pm

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
