Ultramarathon and Trail Running Daily News | Mon, May 16
This Week in Running: Justin Mock from iRunFar takes us on a tour of all the ultramarathon and trail running results from around the world. My hot takes:
- Ragna Debats gets airlifted out of a trail race in Spain. Hops she’s OK. Twenty six stitches is a lot!
- Sanya Sorokin holds the 100k, 100M, 12hr and 24hr World Records AND he runs a mid 15 minute 5k. Dang.
- Poland’s Patrycja Bereznowska breaks a 12yr old record with a new mark in the 48 hour race. She’s the first woman to run over 400k (that’s 250 miles) to do so.
- So many cool events this past weekend, check it out.
- How’d I miss that paddling event in Washington?!?
Ageless: Bronco Billy attempt the 2x R2R2R in the Grand Canyon and luckily Derrick Lytle was there to capture the whole thing.
Wow! Pennsylvania high schooler Gary Martin runs a 3:57 mile in a high school meet with no rabbit. (That mark bested Jim Ryun’s 57 year old record.)
Speaking of high school, sophomore Abigail Dennis did this over the weekend:

Any chance there are other paddlers in Sarasota Florida who’ll be doing the “Last Paddler Standing” event in December? Here’s the info for the race. I’m hoping to borrow a board when I’m there and am open to leads. Thanks.
The BBC offers two smart and civil sides to the trans athletes discussion.
