Learn how to train for an ultramarathon from an expert in ultramarathoning
Sweden - An extreme trail just outside of central Stockholm that will satisfy any ultrarunner’s need to get out into nature.
Virgina - A quick run during a layover in Dulles, Virginia in a historical setting
Based on my experiences I explore what’s the hardest race out there.
Hawaii - Island of Molokai - Experience beaches, tall sea cliffs, great food, and one ultrarunning opportunity.
Hawaii - Island of Lanai - Explore Lanai on one, or all, of these 4 challenging trails that offer seclusion, beautiful views of the ocean and surrounding islands, as well as wide sand beaches and rocky shores.
How to find a great ultrarunning destination or ultramarathon as part of your ultrarunning New Year’s resolutions!
Hawaii - Big Island - Run up a cinder cone or through a lava field, and if the weather is just right, the tallest mountain on earth, Mauna Kea
Nebraska - Have a run in the largest hand planted forest in the world in one of the most remote places in the United States, the Sand Hill region of Nebraska.
Iowa - Find some hills in a land where most think there are none. The Loess Hills offer up steep hills in rolling, forested terrain. While you are there, stop by Le Mars, Iowa to have a scoop of ice cream in the Ice Cream Capital of the World.
CA - Even in Silicon Valley, one can still find the time to train on trails.
Idaho - Ultrarunning through the mountain ranges of the Sawtooth Wilderness
Colorado - Explore the trails of the Browns Canyon and Midland Hill directly from the town of Buena Vista.
Louisiana - The Tammany Trace is a 31 mile (50k) paved trail running from Covington, LA to Slidell, LA on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain that is a great option for a first time solo ultrarunning destination.
South Dakota - Running the Black Hills ultramarathon and exploring Devils Tower and the Homestake Mine make for an excellent ultrarunning destination weekend.
Tennessee - Nashville, Tennessee is a great destination for their well run road Marathon, or for trails conveniently located near the city center.
