Ultramarathon Daily News | Wed, August 14

Good morning everyone, Clint here filling in for Eric. This is my last turn at compiling some news for you before he returns from vacation.

Sometimes ultras can be a pain in the butt…literally.

Ultra running is a growing sport, and in one hot spot of growth (China), a UTMB event is expecting 4,000 runners.

Mike McKnight crushed the course record at the Bigfoot 200 on Monday – 200 miles in under 60 hours!

Bummed that the Hardrock 100 got cancelled this year? You can commemorate that cancellation and also support the Hardrock Community Fund.

Video featuring highlights from Sierre Zinal.

If that video got you ready for the upcoming UTMB, here is a recap from Rob Richard who describes his run including some interesting hallucinations.

I have enjoyed getting the chance to post some news for you all and hope to see you down the trail!
