What is an ultramarathon, you ask? It’s any race distance that exceeds a marathon (26.2 miles). Common ultramarathon race distances are 50K (31 miles), 50 Miles, 100K (62 miles) and 100 Miles. We are excited to host several guest speakers with various backgrounds but have one thing in common; they have all completed numerous 100 mile ultramarathons! Hear their stories. Learn from their mistakes. Make new friends. Be inspired.
