Ultrarunning News Network

Tonight we start off with some good news that Johnny is back in action! After many obstacles in the last year and a half he is finally cleared to start building some endurance. Then we follow up and expand on some stuff that we talked about on the last episode. After that we dive into the results from Moab. Then we deep dive into the Bigs Backyard Ultra World Championships which is up to over 60 countries now! Belgium is in currently in first overall and the only country with runners still going and three of them tied the record of 108 yards (set last year by Harvey Lewis) as we are recording. As I am typing these show notes the three runners decided to all call it quits after 110 yards, that’s almost 460 miles!! We go over race results from the California Fall Classic 100K and 55K, Mines of Spain 100 and 100K, Grand Trail des Templiers 100K, Diagonale des Fous 100, Stone Steps 50K, Laurel Highlands 50K, Pony Express 100, Bimblers Bluff 50K, Uwharrie 100, and Delirium Ultra 24 hour. We talk about two more FKTs that were recently set. We end the show talking about which of AJWs 2024 predictions have come true. Strava club link now in the list of socials below!
