Time on the Trail with Kilian Jornet

“Hey, Bryon, can you give me a lift back to my car in Tahoe City?” queried Sean Meissner, not long after winning the Lake Tahoe Marathon two Sunday’s ago. I quickly replied, “Sure,” as I was headed that way to help out with Kilian Jornet’s running of the Tahoe Rim Trail as part of his [...]

Dave Terry: Tributes and Memories

I never got the chance to know Dave Terry, but he touched the lives of many of my closest ultrarunning friends. Unfortunately with Dave’s untimely passing last weekend, I’ll never get to know him in person. However, I’ve since learned of what a remarkable man he was from the many tributes that my friends and [...]

With little over a week until Catalan’s Kilian Jornet runs the Tahoe Rim Trail, we’re getting pretty excited here at iRunFar. As each new detail filters in, the journey becomes a little more real.

Geoff Roes and Betsy Nye Set Course Records at Wasatch 100

Montrail runner Geoff Roes smashed the Wasatch Front 100 in 18:30:55. Kyle Skaggs set the previous record of 19:35 in 2007.

iRunFar 2009 Wasatch 100 Updates [Updated Friday at 2 pm MDT]

I’ll be out the Wasatch 100 on Friday and Saturday. I’m not sure when I’ll catch up with the race, but there will likely updates from Lamb’s Canyon (mid race) and almost certainly from the finish. There could be more from Big Mountain (mile 40ish) and Brighton (mile 75), as well. The easiest way for [...]

Kilian Jornet to Attempt Tahoe Rim Trail

While I (almost) never publish press releases, this one is too close to my heart not to do so. At the end of this month, Kilian Jornet will be attempting to run the Tahoe Rim Trail. While Kilian’s out there, he’ll surely know that Tim Tweitmeyer set the Tahoe Rim Trail speed record of 45 [...]

Course Records Crumble at the Grand Teton Races

With a weekend of perfect weather on the west side of the Tetons it’s no surprise that records were falling like boulders during the thaw. Over the course of two days, both the men’s and women’s 100 mile records as well as the men’s 50 mile record fell. In fact, multiple folks snuck under the [...]

Prescription for the Trails? A Shoe Cocktail!

This is iRunFar’s first round up post in quite awhile. It’s got some news that we didn’t squeeze into our White River 50 race report, the end of END Footwear, and an article over at Competitor Running that might interest you. Update: We’ll also throw in the tidbit that Montrail is discontinuing its iconic Hardrock… [...]
