In this video Shirley Thompson, organiser of the annual UVU Jungle Marathon, a 240km staged race in the bowels of the Amazon Jungle, explains how she discovered the thrill of ultra running.

Ultra article in New York Times

Comments Off on Ultra article in New York Times
GETTING serious about a sport can mean doing the previously unthinkable. Swimmers shave their bodies sleek. Cyclists take blood-boosters. And ultramarathoners have their battered toenails surgically removed — for good. Toenail removal is not for the faint of heart, but it can be a big relief to people who compete in 50- or 100-mile races. […]

Submitted by Cherie from New York. Here is her full blog Iroquois Trail 50 Miler The Iroquois Trail 50 Miler on Saturday was full of ups and downs, and a little bit in between – I’m talking more about my state than the hills, though it was pretty much the same for the terrain. The […]

Comments Off on Some can really run through the night
It may sound crazy to most sports fans, but ultra running is a growing area of interest and participation. Ultra running is a term generally reserved for 50K, 50-mile, 100K, 100-mile and beyond. The majority of ultra races are on hilly terrain, trails and mountains. Central New York runners enjoy varied weather, rolling hills, trails […]

I’d finally arrived at the end of […]
