ULTRA informs new and existing runners of races around the world via passionate stories and stunning photographs that show off the wonderful landscapes upon which we run. It has race reports and interesting commentaries written by ultrarunners, and looks forward to events in the coming months. There are opinion pieces from some of the great characters in our sport, and even a few pages about how people can better look after themselves with a little coaching, nutrition and medical advice.
ULTRA is welcoming of everyone, whether they’re elites or just thinking about taking part. Or even family and friends of ultrarunners who don’t yet understand the sport. It is something beautiful and informative that we can all be proud of.
One thing ULTRA will never be is standard. You won’t find the same old rehashed stories month after month, year after year. This magazine is created by the community, for the community; and by reading it, commenting, perhaps writing an article or taking some pictures, you can help shape its future.
Issue 20 is again packed with stories of adventure, freedom, endurance and community. Tales of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, accompanied by beautiful imagery. Stories like Pernilla Otto’s 314-mile trek across Tennessee in the Last Annual Vol State race, Chris Green running all over the world to help save the rhino, and Sam Glasgow’s first ultra at just 16 years of age. There are gear tips again from the wonderful Mike Parsons, founder of OMM and creator of the legendary Kamleika waterproof jacket, James Adams talks about being an ultrarunner while getting into the dating scene, and Jen Benson explores the balance between women and men in long ultras. It might be just the inspiration you need to get out there and run.
