Woah! High Cliff Ultra 25k was an adventure. Last year I was unable to race due to a work trip my husband had in San Fran, so I was unaware that the course had changed. Holy bananas!!!! I was not ready for the climbing and when I say climbing think on hands and knees scaling... Continue Reading →
"Do you think we will get dirty? Yep, there are a few places on the trail that are a little muddy." This is a conversation we heard at the start line of the Apple Creek 50k this past Saturday. I laughed...if the course was anything like it was last year there were going to... Continue Reading →

In researching the various types of running events I have reached out to race directors to find out what happens behind the scenes as these events come together.

Just sitting down to write this post brings back a flood of emotions. I have dreamed about completing the Fall 50 for over 5 years, but honestly never thought I was capable of such a huge race. In 2015 I ran the relay with an amazing group of friends one of which mentioned half way... Continue Reading →
Nestled in the heart of Packer Country approximately 15 minutes east half north of the famed Lambeau football field is one of the most unique and well organized races I have participated in over the last few years, the Titletown Ultra Series. This event has all the warm fuzzy feelings of a trail event with... Continue Reading →
