STOMP

Alaska at its finest. The harrowing 2017 Iditarod Trail Invitational 390 miler. Beaten down by cold and mistakes. A real lesson in humility…

THE TARMAC ILIAD

The fast & furious 153 miles through Greek history….from the Acropolis to Sparta.

ALPEN GLOW on the GO…

Rolling through the French Alps on Tailwind fumes using Mont Blanc as a roundabout…

TRAIN WRECK

Somedays don’t go the way you planned or wish, but that is no excuse to throw your hands in the air & abandon the race….forge on with the tools at hand & finish the job….

Attitude & Altitude

The epic Ronda del Cims race around the perimeter of Andorra…46,500′ of climbing over 106 miles…its a grind-fest!

COLD CASE FILE

The Arrowhead 135 winter race across the frozen tundra of northern Minnesota.

Dial up your ice age…

CLIMBING THE SKY

Australia’s iconic long distance ultra marathon of 240km (150 miles).

From the shining sea to the summit in the sky….

HOWLIN’ AT THE MOON

Wandering with wolves through the ancient Sawtooth Mountains of northern Minnesota.

One of the original hundo mile races…& still one of the toughest!

Brazil 135 RACE REPORT 2014

This race has earned it’s reputation as being a gruelling off-road trek with quad busting climbs & descents.

I am proud to say that it lives up to its reputation!

RUNNING ON EMPTY

The storied Leadville 100. The infamous Hope Pass x 2. Its all here in gory detail…

FREEZING HOT

The infamous Badwater Ultramarathon is a 135 mile footrace across Death Valley, USA…in the middle of summer.

I was fortunate enough to get an invite to run this race in 2013 as a rookie, to experience the sheer brutality of the “toughest footrace on earth”. It was an adventure i wont forget soon…or later.

RACE REPORT- The 2012 FAT DOG 120 Trail Ultra

The 120 mile Fat Dog trail ultra is run in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. The scenery is stunning but you pay for it through endless climbing & descent over the course of the race. Somewhere in the vicinity of +29,000 feet of elevation gain.

In a word, it is “Epic”….

Escape from the Salton Sea

The inaugural Badwater Salton Sea race was held in 2013. It starts by the surreal post-apocalyptic town of Salton City before heading into the desert & onwards to climb Palomar Mountain.

The race is a “Team Format”, meaning that 3 runners per team run the entire course together & must stay within 30′ of each other all the way.
