50-50-50 Project

Follow me on my journey of visiting the 50 states in my 50’s as I collect stories from running ultra races. I am featuring races organized by local running communities on race courses that are inspiring either through landscape or tradition. Each race is organized by countless volunteers and tireless race directors, and I hope to connect with trail runners from all over the country to learn what drives the sport and how it is evolving.

“If there’s any doing to be done in our lives, it’s best to get going.
