   Extractions: Jump to: navigation search An ultramarathon is any running event longer than the traditional marathon length of 42.195 kilometers miles , 46,145 yards). There are generally two types of ultramarathon runs, events that cover a specified distance, and events that take place during a specified time frame (with the winner covering the most distance in that time). The most common distances run are 50 and 100 miles, or 50 and 100 kilometers, though several other distances, for example, double marathons, 24-hour runs , or multiday races of 1000 miles or even longer are also contested. The format of these events and the courses covered are quite variable, ranging from single or multiple loops (some as short as a 400 meter track), to point-to-point road or trail races. Many ultrarunning events, especially trail challenges , are characterized by severe course obstacles, such as inclement weather, elevation change, or rugged terrain. Many of these races are run on dirt roads or mountain paths , though some are run on paved roads as well. Usually, there are

3. What's An Ultramarathon?
   An ultramarathon is any organized footrace extending beyond the standard marathon running distance of 42 kilometers, 195 meters (26 miles, 385 yards).

   Extractions: Home By: David Blaikie An ultramarathon is any organized footrace extending beyond the standard marathon running distance of 42 kilometers, 195 meters (26 miles, 385 yards). Ultra races typically begin at 50 kilometers and can extend to enormous distances. There is no limit. The longest certified ultramarathon in the world is The Ultimate Ultra, the annual Sri Chinmoy 1300-Miler (2092 kilometers) which is held each fall in New York. There is also the annual Trans America Footrace, which is run in 64 consecutive daily stages from Los Angeles to New York. Runners cover almost 3,000 miles (more than 4800 kilometers) at a rate of about 45 miles (72 kilometers) a day. Ultramarathons are run on roads, trails and tracks. They can be point-to-point, like the Comrades Marathon in South Africa; out and back, like the Niagara 100K in Canada; or held on loop courses, like the famous one-mile loop that Sri Chinmoy runners circle 1300 times in New York. Rules allow runners to "go as you please." This means they may take walking breaks, pause to drink or eat and even sleep if the events are especially long, such as multi-day races. No penalty results from any such interruption, except for the time or distance a runner loses from his or her performance. Men and women compete in ultramarathons at all levels. They always have. In modern times, they usually compete together in the same race. One hundred years ago, when the sport flourished as "pedestrianism," men and women competed in separate events.

   Extractions: AdventureCORPS, Inc., an event production firm specializing in ultra-endurance and extreme sports events, will host the 31st Badwater Ultramarathon in July, 2008. A true "challenge of the champions," this legendary foot race pits approximately up to 90 of the world’s toughest athletes–runners, triathletes, adventure racers, and mountaineers–against one another and the elements. Covering 135 miles (217km) non-stop from Death Valley to Mt. Whitney, CA in temperatures up to 130F (55C), it is the most demanding and extreme running race offered anywhere on the planet. Watch the webcast here. Held as a race since , this great tradition began with Al Arnold's solo trek from Badwater to Mt. Whitney in , Jay Birmingham's record-breaking run in , followed by scores of solo efforts, and then the Badwater 135 races from 1987 through 1999. AdventureCORPS has continued that tradition by producing the Badwater Ultramarathon since 1999. - Chris Kostman, race director and chief adventure officer . For additional information

   While focusing on the Comrades Marathon, author Higdon provides a training plan useful for a wide range of ultras.

   Extractions: Hal Higdon: On The Run Ultramarathon Training 24 Weeks to a 54-Mile Race The Comrades Marathon is 54 miles between Durban and Pietermaritzburg in South Africa. With 14,000 competitors, it not only is the African continent's largest marathon, but it is the worlds most prestigious ultramarathon. The distance seems daunting, but most marathoners can train for and finish the Comrades Marathon. Or you can use the following schedules to train for other ultramarathons of similar distances, specifically 50-miler or 100-K races. The secret in running ultramarathons is to restructure your training, not merely add more miles. The following schedule peaks at 75 miles a week. The longest runs are four to five hours in length. Bill Fitzgerald, co-leader of the training class for The LaSalle Banks Chicago Marathon, ran and finished Comrades in 1996 with somewhat less mileage. He considers Comrades (and other ultramarathons) "doable" by most experienced marathoners. How talented do you need to be? The qualifying standard to enter the Comrades Marathon usually is 4:30 for a standard marathon. Although the Comrades organizers do not seem to enforce that standard as strictly as does the Boston Athletic Association for its race, they feel that you need the ability to run that fast to have a chance to better 11:00 in their race (the cutoff time for earning a bronze medal).

   Extractions: "Perhaps the genius of ultra running is its supreme lack of utility It makes no sense in a world of space ships and supercomputers to run vast distances on foot. There is no money in it and no fame, frequently not even the approval of peers. But as poets, apostles and philosophers have insisted from the dawn of time, there is more to life than logic and common sense. The ultra runners know this instinctively. And they know something else that is lost on the sedentary. They understand, perhaps better than anyone, that the doors to the spirit will swing open with physical effort. In running such long and taxing distances they answer a call from the deepest realms of their being a call that asks who they are."

It is based on the best information available to ARRS but is undoubtably missing some ultramarathons and may not have credited all runnings to the ultramarathons listed. In some cases, it is difficult to trace an "ultramarathon" through changes in organizing groups, venues, and other glitches in the series. In such cases, an effort has been made to maintain some measure of constancy in the series. Race dates and male/female winners/times for each ultramarathon listed are sought. When a sufficiently informative set of winners has been collected, that ultramarathon is added to the website. You can view the dates/winners for each ultramarathon so profiled by clicking on the name of the ultramarathon in the following list.

All WaterTribe events are dangerous events as defined by Florida law and common sense. You are responsible for your own safety. You must read and understand the warning before you register for this event. The Ultra Marathon is an unsupported, expedition style adventure race for kayaks, canoes, and small boats. The distance is roughly 68 statute miles depending on your course selection. There is a time limit of less than 2 days (see schedule). Your safety and well being are completely up to you. Unsupported means that there are no safety boats or support crews to help you during the race. You are not allowed to have a support crew follow you or meet you during the race. See the official WaterTribe rules for more details. Expedition style means that you must carry the same type of equipment and supplies that you would carry on a major expedition lasting 4 weeks or more. However, paddlers in the marathon can carry a much lighter load than paddlers in the full 8-day challenge. See the official required and suggested equipment list for some suggestions.
