This week we start off by giving everyone in Florida our well wishes during this tough time with Hurricane Milton moving through.  Then we discuss Courtney Dauwalter continuing her dynasty of high profile race victories by winning Nice Cote d' Azur (UTMB) 100 mile and she was not far off from first place overall.  Then we go over the Saddles 100 and 50 mile races in Prescott, AZ where two of our friends and favorite Ohio trail runners Chad Trumbo and Jay Smithberger competed in those races and did very well.  We also discuss race resultrs from Cuyamaca 100K, Spooner's Cove 50K, DC Peaks 50, Hennepin 100, Shawnee 50/50, Arkansas Traveller 100, and Yankee Springs Fall 50K.  There is a new self-supported FKT on the 1,444 mile Buckeye trail.  We take a look at Nedd Brockman from Australia who is trying to break Yiannis Kouros's long standing 1,000 mile record of 10 days 10 hours 30 minutes and 36 seconds.  Nedd is 6 days in and 900K deep so he has some ground to make up in the next 4 days. We end the show talking about the Taco Bell 50K race in Denver that Sage Canaday participated in recently.  Sounds like you need an iron stomach to get that done.  Johnny revisits a 50K that he did with some friends in Columbus where they stopped at multiple breweries throughout the run.  Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ultrarunning_news_network/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555338668719 X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/ultrarunnews Threads: https://www.threads.net/@ultrarunning_news_network Email: ultrarunning.news.network@gmail.com

¿Pensabas utilizar una bolsa de congelados como reserva de agua o que la carta manuscrito a François D'Haene era lo más bizarro que habías visto en el mundo del trail? Pues no. Esta semana la web canadiense Running Magazine destapaba el escándalo. A grandes rasgos y resumiendo mucho, Camille Herron y su entrenador y esposo, Conor Holt, habrían editado las páginas de Wikipedia de Kilian Jornet y Courtney Dauwalter, que se sepa hasta el momento, restando méritos a sus logros mientras que, a la vez, modifcaban su propia entrada añadiendo elogios. Desde 2017 cuentas de Herron habían realizado más de 300 contribuciones a páginas de Wikipedia, de las cuales más de la mitad son adornos para la página de Herron, pero hay eliminaciones notables de contenido positivo en las páginas de Dauwalter, la vencedora del Maratón de Boston 2018 Des Linden y la leyenda del ultrarunning griego Yiannis Kouros.

This week we talk about the classic late summer point to point 100 milers that took place over the weekend.  Results from Wasatch Front 100, Pine to Palm 100, Mogollon Monster 100, and Superior Trail 100.  Crazy that all these juggernauts take place in the same weekend!   We also discuss Hurricane 100K, Wy'east Wonder 50 mile and 50K, and YUTC 50K.  Tor Des Geants is going on and John Kelly was having a great race until he wasn't.  Also, there is a new men's 6 day record!  Matthieu Bonne of Belgium broke a record that was set in 2005 by the multi day legend Yiannis Kouros.  We end the show with AT updates for Tara Dower and Mike Wardian.  They are in the same area!  I (Farley) had a bit of technical difficulty during this recording so please excuse that.

By Davy Crockett From 1875 to 1879, at least 130 six-day races were held, mostly in America and Great Britain. In 1879, the foot races became the #1 spectator sport in America. During that single year, at least 88 six-day races were held worldwide, with about 900 starters and witnessed by nearly one million spectators. Women played a significant role in these early six-day races, a century before they could take part in marathons. From 1875 to 1879, at least 30 six-day women's races were held, involving 150 women starters who ran as far as 393 miles in six days. These daring women athletes caused a significant rift across the Victorian-era society. An editorial in the New York Times stated, “Today it is the walking match, soon the women's vote will come.” It isn't surprising that once the women competed, that New York City considered passing an ordinance banning “all public exhibitions of female pedestrianism.” Many people thought these races, even limited to men, were a plague on society, especially because of all the wagering that took place and suspected corruption involved. In Louisiana, it was written, “Can't someone up there give these lunatics some kind of creditable employment in which they can exercise their pedal extremities to their hearts' content?” From London, England, “One of these days, when one of these poor fellows, dazzled with the distant prospect of gold, drops down dead on the track, science will be satisfied, sport appeased, and public indignation aroused. Pedestrians will go on doing the ‘best time on record' until they drop down dead.” Get my new book on Amazon After a huge race in New York City, The Third Asley Belt race, that affected attendance at churches that week, a minister wrote, “New York has been shamefully disgraced. This commercial emporium is in dishonor in the sight of God and in the eyes of the civilized world.” These early pedestrians at first had a goal to surpass 500 miles in six days. They then kept pushing the six-day world record further until George Littlewood reached 623 miles in 1888. That record stood for nearly a century and was considered a running record that would never be broken. But it eventually was broken by one man. Today, the six-day world record is held by Yiannis Kouros, of Greece, who covered an astonishing distance of 635 miles on a track in New York City in 1984. Later, in 2005, he covered 643. Running vs. Walking In 1878, the British established a six-day world championship series of races called “The Astley Belt.” After the 3rd Astley Belt Race in early 1879, won by Charles Rowell of Great Britain, Daniel O'Leary, the former six-day champion of the world, spent a lot of time pondering how the British seemed to being exceeding the Americans in the six-day sport. He became convinced that no strict walker could ever again win a highly competitive six-day race against runners. The best strict heel-toe walkers could exceed 500 miles, but not much further. He believed the runners being developed in Britain could go much further than 500 miles, and it was time for Americans to learn how to run more during these “go-as-you-please” six-day races. The six-day races held during April 1879 During April 1879, at least 13 six-day races were held, including five during the same week. Two significant races were held that month, the American Championship Belt at Gilmore's Garden, New York City, and the 2nd English Astley Belt held at the Agricultural Hall in London. Plans for the American Championship Belt The six-day American Championship Belt race was billed as a contest to produce the best man to be sponsored to compete in the 4th Astley Belt race to be scheduled in June 1879, in England. For this qualifying race, $1,000 and a championship belt would be awarded to the winner. The race was open only to residents of America and would be under the direction of the New York Athletic Club. Belts, not belt-buckles,

By Davy Crockett This is an encore episode. Spartathlon, an ultra of 246 km (153 miles), takes place each September in Greece, running from Athens to Sparta and with its 36-hour cutoff. It is one of the toughest ultramarathons to finish. In Part 1 of this series, episode 88, the story was told how Spartathlon was born in 1982, the brainchild of an officer in the Royal Air Force, John Foden. Three servicemen successfully covered a route that was believed to have been taken in 490 B.C., by the Greek messenger, Pheidippides. The 1982 trial run set the stage for the establishment of the Spartathlon race. The race's 1983 inaugural year is covered in this part won by Yiannis Kouros of Greece.

By Davy Crockett Recently, the six-day race received some attention in ultrarunning news because the International Association of Ultrarunners (IAU) announced that they would no longer recognize the six-day event or keep records for it. This shocked many ultrarunning historians and particularly runners who participate in multi-day fixed-time races.  After a brief uproar, the new IAU leadership back-peddled, somewhat admitted to their ignorance about six-day ultrarunning history and agreed to continue to recognize the event that has roots in the sport going back nearly 250 years. Ultrarunners who exclusively run trails may wonder, “what is this six-day race and why is it important?”  The six-day race is an event to see how far you can run or walk in a period of 144 hours or six days on roads, tracks, or trails. Six days was a historic time limit established to avoid competing on Sundays, respecting local laws of the time and the religious beliefs of many of the participants. Six-Day Background Today, the six-day world record is held by Yiannis Kouros of Greece, who covered an astonishing distance of 635 miles on a track in New York City in 1984. Later in 1988, he covered 639 miles on a paved loop course at Flushing Meadows, also in New York. Historically, the six-day race grew out of solo six-day challenges, motivated by significant wagers and fame. They were first accomplished by ultra-distance walker/runners referred to as “pedestrians” who covering staggering distances during the late 1700s. Recent research has discovered that there were far more athletes than previously known, who took up the six-day challenge in the early 1800s. These occurred exclusively in Britain. Their grueling runs/walks were accomplished outdoors on dirt and muddy roads/trails, frequently in harsh weather conditions. In the late 1800s, as attention was revived for these six-day solo accomplishments, egos and greed of participants and organizers also grew. The six-day challenges evolved into competitions in America between multiple walkers, and the six-day races were born, attracting thousands of spectators. It became the most popular spectator sport in America for more than a decade. How did the six-day challenge begin?  Here is the story. Foster Powell, the Father of the Six-Day Run Long before the six-day races began in the late 1800s, there were numerous six-day walking feats that have been mostly lost in history. The first famous British “pedestrian,” Foster Powell (1734-1793) started the focus on walking/running for six days and can be considered the “Father of the Six-Day Challenge.” Foster Powell was born in 1734, in the small village of Horsforth, Yorkshire, England, near the city of Leeds. His father was William Powell, a prominent farmer. When Foster Powell was 28, in 1762, he moved to London to work as a law clerk for a “temple lawyer” at an inn. There were a group of inns in London called the “Inns of Court” attached to Churches, used as offices for clerks and lawyers. These inns consisted of sections called the Inner Temple and Middle Temple. In 1766, Powel moved, and went to work for his uncle at New Inn (next to Clements Inn), another inn for clerks and lawyers. He worked and lived there for the rest of his life. Powell worked hard but was the object of ridicule by his fellow clerks who regarded him as “a milksop and a muff.” He was described as “a cadaverous-looking young fellow, thin and apparently weak. He was thought very little of, either in respect of his mental or physical qualities.” He was “a quiet inoffensive lad, shy, and somewhat unsocial, with nothing in the faintest degree remarkable in him.” His truly remarkable talent soon became evident as he became fond to taking long, solitary walks. Windsor One Saturday, Powell was asked by his fellow clerks where he was going to spend Sunday. He replied that he intended to walk to Windsor and back (about 50 miles) starting after work...

Visit https://ultrarunninghistory.com/member The Founding of Spartathlon in 1983 The Three Finishers. After John Foden and two others finished the historic 1982 trial run between Athens and Sparta, Foden told those at the finish, “You need to make the route we have run, a race.” However, he did not think seriously that a race would be organized anytime soon.  Michael Graham Callaghan (1945-2013), an Athens businessman, and a member of the British Hellenic Chamber of Commerce (BHCC) in Greece was the driving force and the founder of the formal Spartathon race. Back in 1982, Callaghan had helped Foden organize his run and obtained sponsors.  He was at the finish in Sparta and awarded the three finishers crowns of olive leaves. A month later, Callaghan received a kind letter from Air Marshal Thomas Kennedy from the Royal Air Force (RAF) in Germany, thanking him for his support of Foden's 1982 RAF expedition run from Athens to Sparta. The letter included, “John Foden has told me about the invaluable help you gave the expedition when it found itself in financial straits that made its abandonment seem certain, and also in revamping its low-key publicity into a campaign that achieved international TV and press coverage. I should like to thank you most sincerely for your interest and your enterprise which prevented the possible cancellation of the expedition, and your initiative in recognizing that its success could be used to reinforce the friendly relations that exist between Great Britain and Greece. We are all very much in your debt.” This kind letter further helped Callaghan become captivated with the idea for a race and he charged ahead to make it happen. Plans for Spartathlon come together Just four months after the historic 1982 RAF expedition, in February 1983, the Hellenic Amateur Athletics Association (SEGAS) announced that Spartathlon would be held on September 30, 1983. The name for the race combined the Greek words for Sparta and Feat. Officially that first year it was called, the “Open International Spartathlon Race.” A multi-national team of supporters came together led by Callaghan and was based at the British Hellenic Chamber of Commerce in Athens. Under Greek law, Callaghan was not allowed to be the actual president of the organization, but he was the first race organizer. Foden said, “My idea to have a race would never have taken off if were not for Callaghan's energy, enthusiasm and talents as a salesman. At the start he might not have known much about running and relied on the advice I gave him during visits to Greece, but he soon became very knowledgeable.” A group of Athens-based British businessmen were signed up to be the main sponsors for the 1983 race. Entrants Forty-four men and one woman from twelve countries were entered into the first Spartathlon. They arrived in Athens four days before the race, on September 26, 1983, and took a two-day bus ride to preview the course and sight-see. At Sparta they were honored by the Mayor of Sparta at a taverna dinner.

Kilian Jornet has dropped out, shortly after passing the 11-hour mark and 134.8 kilometres. Jornet had actually left the track sometime before this, but those following the attempt were hopeful he would be able to return and make up for lost time. The announcers said that Jornet had ended the record attempt, that he had been experiencing extreme dizziness and was advised by his doctor to stop the attempt. The record, set by Greek ultrarunning legend Yiannis Kouros in 1997, is 188.5 miles or 303.56 kilometres. #kilianjornet #YiannisKouros #24hourworldrecord Kilian Jornet has dropped out, shortly after passing the 11-hour mark and 134.8 kilometres.

In anticipation of this weekends Centurion Track 100 mile event we are honoured to have the World Champion Aleksandr Sorokin on the Camino Podcast. Aleksandr has been quarantining in the UK at the home of our friend Bryn Jones. These two legends met as Basel 24 hour champs a couple of years ago and all kinds of craziness happened. We discuss this as well as the preparation for this weekends big race. Aleksandr has won many great ultramarathon races but to us he is in the Hall of Fame for being a winner of our beloved Spartathlon. We were lucky enough to be in that race with Aleksandr (he only pipped us by a mere 13 hours!!) We talk about that year as well as the might Yiannis Kouros - we imagine that Aleksandr is one of the few modern day ultra runners that Yiannis would respect. Huge gratitude to Bryn for helping get this wonderful and mad episode together.

By the end of 1999 a few prolific ultrarunners had piled up 100-mile finishes. Richard and Sandra Brown of England were way out in front with 87 and 82, reaching 100 miles in both running and walking events. Ray Krolewicz of South Carolina was next with about 60 100-mile finishes to his name. Don Choi, the prolific multi-day runner from San Francisco, had more than 40 100-mile finishes but had retired from 100-mile running in 1997 at the age of 48. The world’s greatest, Yiannis Kouros had an estimated 40 100-milers, most of them wins. But as the decades passed, in 2021, there were 18 talented ultrarunners who had achieved 100 100 milers. Who are they? https://ultrarunninghistory.com/100-100-milers/ Clubhouse is an invitation-only audio-chat iPhone app launched in April 2020 by Paul Davison and Rohan Seth of Alpha Exploration Co. that facilitates auditory communication for groups of a few individuals up to over 5,000 people.

matevž mikeln 1 day ago (edited) Yeah hes a good runner, hes won some trail races? :) Please man, dont comment on things you have no idea about ;) Kilian won Hardrock 100 4x, Utmb 3x (once 2nd), Western states 100, Zegama 9x, Sierre zinal 7x, marathon Mont-Blanc I dont know how many times. And you realize these are the most competitive races in the world when it comes to trail, mountain running? And if you want to see the list of his races, look it up....there is about 100+ more amazing results in Skimo, trail running, mountain FKTs.....So. Yes, he did fail. But he did try. Would you like to see Eliud Kipchoge run UTMB? or Yiannis Kouros running 100 miles hardrock ultra trail with 11000m of elevation? Cmon dude...I get it you think you have to comment on things, but just dont. Not on Kilian. First look it up, check who he is and what he has done, and then come back, sit down, make another video of how amazing it really is that he even goes for event like that. He is THE GOAT of mountain running, skiing, ultra-trail races, vertical kilometer races, short mountain races...Hes done it all, believe me, and he won it all, believe me ;) have a nice day, and be smart...dont comment on Kilians running with 40kg of fat around your belly my friend ;) Oh and just so you get the idea? UTMB is 100 miles, with 10.500m of elevation gain. Do you realize these guys run the course in 19-20 hours? God....You really are something ;) matevž mikeln 3 hours ago @ابوفادى المستعرب حبيب الملايين Cant skip to another video, when I see guy giving opinion on things he knows nothing about. You dont comment Kilian, if you dont know who he is, and what he has achieved. You dont comment on running in europe in November, if you have no idea that Kilian is mountain athlete, skiing all winter, running all summer in the mountains. You dont comment on his running, and how you already knew before the race start that hes gonna fail this challenge, if you dont know that hes used to run for 10, 15, 20, 30 hours. Yes, you can comment on why you think he failed, what you think should be arranged differently etc...But do that with some knowledge, with some backgorund, or at least try to give proffesional opinion on this event, not beeing smart-ass from couch talking about one of the greatest athlete of our time. Sory about the weight comment, but in the end...yeah...just dont do this video in this way if you dont want to hear what other people have to say about you. Giving Kilian zero credit from this guy, cant help it...really pissed me off ;) Kilian Jornet STOPPED Earlier than I PREDICTED / 24 Hour World Record FAIL Endurance News & Random Musings https://andynoise.com/ Andy Noise Gear https://andynoise.com/gear Andy Noise Experience Stay Healthy.

Kilian Jornet has dropped out, shortly after passing the 11-hour mark and 134.8 kilometres. Jornet had actually left the track sometime before this, but those following the attempt were hopeful he would be able to return and make up for lost time. The announcers said that Jornet had ended the record attempt, that he had been experiencing extreme dizziness and was advised by his doctor to stop the attempt.

Hour 34 of 144 and Amy Mower and Phil Eberts are at 148 miles (Average Pace is 13:30 so far). Camille Herron, the 24-hour world record-holder, is targeting the 48-hour world record this week in New Jersey. The event, which begins today, offers races from a 144-hour event all the way down to a six-hour run. Herron will get started on Friday, October 2 at 9 a.m. ET and end on Sunday, also at 9 a.m. The current women’s world record stands at 397 kilometres and is held by Sumie Inagaki of Japan, but Herron wants to go one step further and become the overall U.S. record holder. This would require her to beat Olivier LeBlond, who ran 262 miles (or 421.9K) in 48 hours in 2017. The world record for the event is held by Yiannis Kouros of Greece who has run 433K on the roads.

By Davy Crockett  Yiannis Kouros from Greece is considered by most, as the greatest ultrarunner of all time. That is a bold statement, but there are few that dispute this statement. The late “Stubborn Scotsman,” Don Ritchie, is certainly in the conversation, Some can try arguing for certain mountain trail ultrarunners, but what Kouros accomplished, dominating for more than a 20-year period, and setting world records that have lasted for decades is nothing but mind-boggling. Every ultrarunner needs to know about Yiannis Kouros and his accomplishments. One of his competitors, Trishal Cherns of Canada, said, “There’s the elite, the world class, then there’s Yiannis.” Yiannis Kouros was born on February 13, 1956 in Tripoli, Greece, a city of about 20,000 people at that time. His father was a carpenter and the family lived in poverty. They did not always have enough food, requiring Yiannis to perform his first manual laboring at the age of five. He could not afford to go to the movies so he went to a stadium to run for fun. Sports was also a refuge from his family trouble. Kouros explained, “I had a misfortune in my family. When I was born, my father thought I was not his own, he was of course wrong. For that reason, he used to lash out on me. My mother was uneducated and instead of nurturing me she fought me even more. So I grew up in a hostile environment.” He spent much of his childhood with his grandparents who were strong disciplinarians. Kouros awarded 1st Place in Long Jump In elementary school, he was awarded first place in the long jump. In high school he couldn’t stay home after school because of the family troubles, so he had to go somewhere and went to track. He began formal athletic training and started running races at the age of sixteen. At first his coach dismissed Kouros as being “a mediocre athlete who just didn’t have the build to go fast.” But he progressed to be one of the top high school runners in Greece. He was a junior champion at the 3, 000 and 5,000 meter distances. After high school he left home and lived on his own in Athens for a time. Kouros didn’t only have interests in running. At the age of 12 he began writing his own poetry and songs. In his high school years he took music and singing lessons. Eventually he published four albums and took part in music competitions. But his world greatness emerged in his running skills. In 1977 at that age of 21, Kouros ran his first marathon in 2:43:15. His times continued to improve to 2:25 in 1981. Soon he discovered that he excelled far more at ultra distances. In 1981 at the age of 25, Kouros started building a house for himself in Tripolis which would take years to complete. He worked during the days as a guard at the athletic stadium and in the evenings worked on his house alone and trained about twice per day. He averaged only 2.5 hours sleep per night. By the end of the year, he asked the Sports Council to send judges to witness his attempt to run 100k, running on a 20k road course, seeking to set a national record. He finished in 7:35 but no judges came. Spartathlon By 1983, at the age of 27, Kouros had finished 25 marathons, winning one (1981 Athens), He read about a new race from Athens to Sparta, called the Spartathlon. The race traced the historic footsteps of Pheidippides, an Athenian messenger in 490 BC. This race of about 156 miles (251 km) started at the Acropolis in Athens and ran through ancient towns including Corinth to Sparta. Earlier in October 1982 a team of British athletes from the Royal Air Force covered the course, with the first man finishing in 34.5 hours, proving it could be done. Kouros signed up, hoping to be the first Greek finisher. It was his first ultramarathon! He jumped right from the marathon distance to about 156 miles (251 km)! World record ultrarunner Eleanor Adams of England also signed up, the only woman in the race. When she took a bus ride to preview the course,

By Davy Crockett  Follow @ultrarunninghis Both a podcast episode and a full article (Listen to the podcast episode too with audio clips from the runners.) The sport of running 100 miles competitively has existed for multiple centuries. The earliest known competition was won in 1792 by John Hague of Great Britain with a time of 23:15. In 1882, an American, John Hughes, reached 100 miles in 13:57 but was suspected as being drugged up with stimulants. John Dobler of the United States probably ran the fastest legitimate 100 mile time by an American in the 19th century when in 1880 he ran in London and reached 100 miles in 14:52. But through the years before 1980, no one ran dozens of 100-milers during their running career, only a handful of 100s. Ultrarunning legend Ted Corbitt ran fewer than ten 100-milers. By the mid-1970s, running 100 miles in competition started to become more available to anyone. By 1978 there were seven races in American where runners could reach 100 miles. During 1981 about 250 runners finished 100 miles in races in North America. In 1990 that had doubled to about 500 runners. By the end of 1999 as few prolific ultrarunners had piled up 100-mile finishes. Richard and Sandra Brown of England were way out in front with 87 and 82, reaching 100 miles in both running and walking events. Ray Krolewicz of South Carolina was next with about 60 100-mile finishes to his name. Don Choi, the prolific multi-day runner from San Francisco, had more than 40 100-mile finishes but had retired from 100-mile running in 1997 at the age of 48. The world's greatest, Yiannis Kouros had an estimated 40 100-milers, most of them wins and Tom Possert had about 30 100-milers. But as the decades passed, at the end of 2018, there were 15 talented ultrarunners who had achieved 100 100 milers.  Who are they? Hans-Dieter Weisshaar When I attempted to run my first 100-miler at The Bear in 2004, I ran quite a few miles near the 100-mile legend, Hans-Dieter Weisshaar from Germany who was at that time 64 years old. That race would be Han’s 66th 100-mile finish. During 2004, he finished thirteen of them. He was indeed a legend. Hans started running at age 46 because he was overweight. Before then, he said he was a typical “couch potato” and back in school didn’t participate in sports. He was laughed at by his classmates when he tried participating in sports. He started running ultras in 1987 at the Swiss Alpine Marathon (67K) and started running 100s at the age of 58 when most 100-mile runners have already retired from the sport. After running Kettle Moraine 100 in 1999, he became addicted to running 100 miles. His fastest 100-miler was the 2000 Rocky Raccoon 100 which he finished in 20:39 at the age of 59. Hans was a medical doctor and retired in 2002 at the age of 62, giving him more free time to travel and run. For that 2004 Bear 100, I made it to around mile 85 and didn’t have anything more to give. I was provided a ride to the finish line and was able to watch Hans finish in 32:54 to a chorus of cheers. I was in awe. I had failed to finish my first 100-mile race and believed that I was in way over my head at age 46. Here was a man 18 years older than me, finishing 100-milers every month. If I could only just finish one! But I believed that this sport wasn’t for me and I quit dreaming I could do it – at least for a few days. I did get that first 100-mile finish, a few months later at Rocky Raccoon 100 in Texas and like Hans and was hooked on running 100-milers. Hans holding one of his many Rocky Mountain Slam awards Hans continued to run. One year he finished an astonishing twenty 100-milers in one year. What was totally impressive is that his finishes each year always included some of the toughest 100s in the world, including Hardrock 100. He coined a “Super Slam”, to finish four tough mountain races in a single year that didn’t need to include the easier and hard-to-get-into, Western States 100.
