Sage Canaday: The RUT 50km Race Report

Sage Canaday: The RUT 50km Race Report

I’ve […]

UROC 100km Race Report: “Just Finish”

UROC 100km Race Report: “Just Finish”

I’ve never wanted to quit so bad in my life. At 10,600’ on the top of Vail Pass, and 33 miles into the race, I was leading the UROC 100km. But I had worked way too hard to get to that point. A fierce pack of world-class mountain-ultra-trail runners were right behind me: Rob Krar, […]
