This Saturday, the world’s most competitive trail 50 miler, The North Face Endurance Challenge 50 mile, will be run in the Marin Headlands outside of San Francisco, California. In fact, one could argue that this field could edge out that of the Western States 100 and Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc to make it the most competitive trail ultra field in the world this year. Last year, the TNF EC Championship’s stacked field led to an amazing showdown between Uli Steidl and Montrail’s Geoff … [Read more...]

My first experience at Ultra Running

What an experience! 31 miles of rough, hilly, and DARK forest service roads thru the woods. I saw one copperhead snake, lots of spiders, but no bears! There were almost 200 starters for the 25K and 50K combined. Once we broke off from those running the 25K at 7.5 miles the field dropped considerably, but there were still lots of runners ahead of and behind be. I didn’t really notice when I started meeting those that had made the turn around and were headed back but the closer I got to the 15.5 … [Read more...]

Ultrarunners who take on the challenges of races like Arkansas's 3 Days of Syllamo are not only challenged to finish, but they must find the finish line.  This means keeping your senses when your body is fatigued and finding your way through trails and deep woods in the middle of the night.  This year, day two of the three-day race was done. Clouded night engulfed northern Arkansas’ wild and mountainous Ozark National Forest as completely as if it lay 10 miles deep beneath a chilly … [Read more...]

Wondering where Conway / Arkansas runners are running this weekend is a little like the old Where's Waldo challenge.  Last weekend we had runners in the New York Half Marathon and the L.A. Marathon.  Above are the results we know about from these events.  I'm sure there were more in the New York race (or I think there are?), but the results did not have a search by state or city.  If you ran either of these events and are not listed, please email us and we'll add you to the list.  And … [Read more...]

  I'm looking real hard and I just can't see the trail in the picture above.  This was a picture from the site and not from this year but still.  Although we don't have a race report from any of the runners, kudos to all of them for participating in the event.  More information is available on the official race website and the Arkansas Ultra Running link to the right. … [Read more...]

White Rock 50k results

For some people, running a marathon is a life long accomplishment.  For others it is an unimagineable distance to run.  But for ultra runners, the marathon is simply a training run, something they might do once or twice on a weekend as they prepare for an upcoming event.  Marathoners usually look for flat and fast courses.  Ultra runners seek out muddy, hilly courses with lots of obstacles like darkness and creeks with running water.  The White Rock 50k was an opportunity for some Conway … [Read more...]
