    Nice post Nick. I’m digging the short history in the first paragraph.

    I’ll try to make it out there to cheer them on. If not, I’ll definitely check out the Ultracast.

    Many congratulations for staging this event. Road and track ultras are the true heart of ultra distance running and is where the history of the sport lies. Ultra running always was simply the extension of road and track running to longer and longer distances. By challenging themselves in these traditional events, athletes can make their mark on the history of the sport, which goes back hundreds of years. Best of luck with this event and hopefully longer ones in the future?
