Ultramarathon Daily News | Thurs Oct 29

Ultrarunning/Stern: What’s going on in the ultramarathon world this weekend? Javelina, the Last Sasquatch Standing (wait, what?) in New Jersey, the Tussey mOUnTaiNBACK in PA (read this article) and more.

Speaking of Javelina, Chase Parnell wrote up an in-depth preview of the participant right here. Fellas include Dave Stevens, Stringbean, Jacob Puzey, and more. And for the ladies? CR holder Devon Yanko, Brittany Peterson, Camille Herron….Yikes!  Hit the link to catch Aravaipa’s livestream on Saturday.

iRunFar All hail the pinnacle of trail food: The calorie-dense, easily packable, environmentally friendly, and undoubtedly delicious tamale.

Trailrunner/Roche: A solid response to the claims against Oregon’s DEXA tests and body comp monitoring.

It says a lot about our sporting society when the “celebrity” list for the NYC Marathon includes a dude from The Bachelor and some random actresses but does not include names like Kenenisa Beckele or Des Linden.

Also, the new War on Drugs album drops tomorrow and from the few songs they’ve released from it, it’s spectacular.
