This was the fourth year for the race and the second year at Brady’s Run Park. The course consists of eight 12.5 mile loops though my Garmin has measured it at 102.5 miles and 102 miles so don’t be surprised if your watch of choice runs a little long. There are now two aid stations…
2025 Rabid Racoon Preview
I’m heading back for my second go at RR100. Outside of a select few hundreds, I’ve been trying to pick new races to do over the years rather than going back and doing the same handful of races year in and year out. My repeat list consists of those that I absolutely love (Eastern States)…
Angela Ivory Memorial 100 Mile Race Report
No Name Calling, Please The Angela Ivory Memorial Runs are organized as fatass style ultra events at Killens Pond State Park in Felton, DE. I would characterize this as a “no frills” race, but that still doesn’t quite convey the lack of amenities. You get what you bring. If you didn’t bring it, it’s not…
Having The Courage To Experiment
I’m a creature of habit. I sit in the same chairs at home. Order the same meals when I go out to restaurants. Run the same routes every week. If I find something that works for me, I’ll keep at it. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it is my motto. And while it’s good…
The Continuous Pivot
I can’t quite seem to get 2025 dialed in. Normally, I’m locked on a schedule 12 months out. My 2025 calendar though has gone through yet another revision. I had been planning to run TWOT 100M in February. It wasn’t until after I had committed back in August that I realized it conflicted with DUC…
2024 Devil Dog 100 Mile Race Report
I’m going in a slightly different direction with this race report than my typical ones. If you’re looking for a traditional storytelling format, I’ll direct you to my 2021 and 2023 race reports. This one will be more a random collection of musings on my race. Or maybe thoughts on. . . Thoughts on. .…
2024 Devil Dog 100M Preview
I’m heading back for my third running of the DD100M this weekend. This will be my third hundred that I’ve started three times or more joining C&O Canal and my beloved Eastern States. While this isn’t my favorite race, it’s relatively convenient (under 3 hour drive) and there’s not a whole lot else going on…
2025 Race Calendar
At the bottom of my Race Results page, I have my upcoming calendar. I think I’m locked in as to what I want to do in 2025 at this point. I’ve registered for everything listed below that’s opened at this point and should be able to get into the rest without too many issues. Rim…
My 100 Miler Ranks: 2024 Edition
I started these annual ranks way back in 2017 as a way to help people choose which races to run. Amazing to think that this is now my 8th annual update of my 100 miler ranks. No race is exactly the same and since everyone looks for something different when choosing races, I thought I…
Wild Goose 100 Mile Race Report
Many thanks to Kim, Joe, and their amazing group of volunteers for a great race. Wild Goose Trail Festival is a weekend of races put on by Sassquad Trail Running in the Wawayanda State Park. In addition to the 100M race, they also have 100K, 50M, 50K, 10K, 36HR, and 13.1M plus a 1M kids…
