Sage Advice for Ultra Race Crewing

January 31, 2022 by Jack Macy Leave a Comment

I’ve never ran far enough to need a crew. Or, at least justifying to myself the need for a crew. The wonderful volunteers at aid stations have generally been able to provide the support and energy boost needed to get through everything from half marathons to 50k races. But this year I’m attempting my first […]

California International Marathon 2021: A Return to Racing

December 29, 2021 by admin 3 Comments

Castle Peak 100K Race Report- Meggie Inouye

October 29, 2021 by Meggie Inouye 1 Comment

I awoke extra early on race morning to check the Air Quality Index and was pleased to find a number under 150.  Smokey air was coming from wildfires from the north and the south putting the race at jeopardy. Favorable winds meant that 2021 Castle Peak 100k would run. The Castle Peak 100k course starts […]
