Welcome to my blog. I hope you get some inspiration to run somewhere new from my log of Ultra Running Destinations. These are all places I’ve visited, so can personally recommend them for an ultra adventure. Hope you have a nice stay!
A collection of races; ultramarathons, marathons and trail runs.
West Virginia - Experience miles of single track in one of the most unusual ecosystems east of the Mississippi River.
Ohio - Enjoy an ultramarathon made up of nearly 100% singletrack through dense wooded terrain just minutes from downtown Athens, Ohio.
Kentucky - Explore 50k (31 miles) of trails in the Red River Gorge at the well run Red River Gorge Ultramarathon.
South Dakota - Running the Black Hills ultramarathon and exploring Devils Tower and the Homestake Mine make for an excellent ultrarunning destination weekend.
