This has been a progression over the last 15 years, starting with running a few miles a couple times a week. As the mileage increased so did the desire for additional challenges. In the most recent years I’ve run a variety of trail ultramarathons, 50K up to 100 miles. The adventure and challenges both physical and mental are what attracts me to the events and drive the training. Attached are some pictures from a few of the races.
Below are some race highlights and videos captured. After watching many race videos from others, I decided to capture some of my own. It gives people a feel for the variety of terrain, beauty of the trails and the overall experience. And my kids love them.
