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.

However, I’ve since learned of what a remarkable man he was from the many tributes that my friends and [...]

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.

Well, Montrail’s forthcoming Mountain Masochist trail shoe would be well suited for use at its namesake race, as it’s comfortable on roads, responsive on dirt, and stable on rock encrusted single [...]

Montrail Streak Review
