Keep Marching - Ultra Running Magazine

Death marching downhill into the aid station made me think of a time when I had run this section fast, or at least faster or at least, had run it at all. That was a different day, and a different version of myself. Amazing runners, some almost twice my age, rushed past. Dust diffused through the windy morning air, and I thought of the front pack that must be on a tear on this peculiarly cold race day. The energy in the aid station below was palpable from a half-mile above. I could hear music, ch...

The Ute 100: Wild and Rugged - Ultra Running Magazine

A dark, star-filled sky greeted us on a chilly summer morning.  The race director yelled go, and everyone was off. A few bystanders clapped, but that was it. There was no fanfare, just desert, mountains and silence. The Ute 100 was founded in 2018. This dramatic course is set in the La Sal Mountains outside of Moab, Utah. It starts in the red rock desert, what you might traditionally picture when you think of Moab, but at mile 15, the course climbs above the treeline into high alpine territory....

Christian Allen: Rise to the Top - Ultra Running Magazine

Christian Allen’s mullet precedes him—his foray into the professional running scene seems, like his elite hair and mustache combo, shocking. However, for those that know him, his rise has been anything but, as he recently won the Broken Arrow Ascent in Olympic Valley, California, coming in first overall in a race with 452 finishers. Like so many runners, Christian Allen’s athletic journey didn’t begin in competitive running. His first love was soccer and to him, running was a punishment enforced...

The Ultra Way - Ultra Running Magazine

I tried to get up, but Mark scolded me with a playful silence that seemed innately Australian. He moved smoothly through the aid station, quickly returning from the doting volunteers with some ice and salty snacks. I checked my watch: 2 hours. Chuckling, I shook my head in disbelief. I’d now been sitting at mile 35 for 2 hours. Runners still streamed by, but the frequency was slowing. The back of the race was now starting to drop me. Initially, it felt humiliating to see the number of runners pa...

Never Too Old to Wakeboard: Rémy's Journey from ACL Surgery to Water S

When Rémy’s son was a teenager the family was out on a lake with a group of friends. These friends brought out a wakeboard –something Rémy had never done to that point. Rémy decided to stay in her lane, and she politely declined the invitation to wakeboard. Her son looked at her and said, “I never thought I’d see my mom get so old that she’d be afraid to try something new.” This lit a fire in Rémy and that day she learned how to wakeboard. She never looked back and wakeboarding became a major pa...

Rocky Mountain Slam’s Youngest Finisher - Ultra Running Magazine

The ridge at mile 85 was steep, technical and unforgiving, and a storm was looming. Kaden Coleman crawled under a tree, seeking refuge from the inevitable. Suddenly, he heard the aggressive roar of a bear. Looking over his shoulder, he found that his ears had betrayed him in the howling wind. The “bear” was a rock fall that had just been triggered above him by the raging storm—the Wyoming Range 100-miler was living up to its gnarly reputation. Moving frantically, he was too consumed to even wond...

Escape the Noise, Find your Oasis

By Tyler Marshall
The shuttle screeched as we pulled off of the rugged 80 MPH Texas freeway.
We sat at an inconspicuous dirt turnoff. A sign hidden from the road welcomed us to the H.E. Butt Foundation Camp. Rolling desert hills extended as far as the eye could see.
The environment was extreme. Our group took in the arid scenery until enough of our crew was gathered. Afterward, we together traversed the dirt roads down to our spot for the week. At the bottom of those rolling hills a concealed...

From World-Ranked Athlete to 70-Year-Old Skiing Success: Robin Rhodes'

1979 was a big year for the state of Utah. The basketball team The New Orleans Jazz migrated northwest to Salt Lake City and the snowfall was above average. Life was good. This same year was a key milestone for skier and future longtime Nutriex customer Robin Rhodes. A friend of hers dragged Robin out to Park City for a ski trip. They made the drive from Lake Tahoe and went straight to the slopes. Robin was instantly in love with the world-famous Utah powder before her first run was over. The sn...
