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. Just this morning we learned that Kilian will start his trek in Tahoe city and run clockwise around Lake Tahoe. While [...]
Geoff Roes and Betsy Nye Set Course Records at Wasatch 100
September 11, 2009 by Bryon Powell · 6 Comments
Montrail runner Geoff Roes smashed the Wasatch Front 100 in 18:30:55. Kyle Skaggs set the previous record of 19:35 in 2007. That’s over an hour improvement on well-established, always competitive course. He also dropped an hour and a half from his previous Wasatch time of 20:01:07, which he ran en route to winning last year. [...]
iRunFar 2009 Wasatch 100 Updates [Updated Friday at 2 pm MDT]
September 10, 2009 by Bryon Powell · 2 Comments
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 [...]

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
September 7, 2009 by Bryon Powell · 7 Comments
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!
August 13, 2009 by Bryon Powell · 9 Comments
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… [...]
White River Runs Wild

When we recently decided to cover the White River 50 we took a look at the entrants list and were really excited by what we saw: Krupicka, Wardian, Koerner, Jurek, Crowther, Morrison, Lint, Freeman, Kochik, Browning, and Semick. These guys (and gal) did not disappoint. At the end of the day, Kami Semick and Anton [...]
