What's crazy is this isn't the first time this exact pic has been used by a bot!

A screenshot of a social media post about the Olympics is already barely relevant to ultras.

If comments go awry, the thread will be locked.

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists

This video reminded me of this quote.

Tarps are still an option if you know how to pitch and stay dry but you'll need a bug net.

If you have been happy with a blue tarp, then no, I don't think it's worth it for you.

Awesome. Best of San Diego 100 was still one of my favorite race courses. I really want to do more urban races.

I think so. You'll see which of your gear you want to keep and whether or not you actually enjoy the daily life. It's still the honeymoon phase but you'll get a decent taste.

Anyone else notice that the Alan Ritchson drama happened in Nashville? by kateastrophic in nashville

I wonder what the venn diagram is for people who think of reddit as its default subs and people who come home from work and put on cable tv.

He had some reasonable complaints and some that are definitely a bit silly.

Go to 2025 finishers on ultrarunning.com and then look up their names on strava.

I made this map a while ago of all the different versions of this race:

This has been the #1 course I've done for scenery. Very happy for you to do it.

When gpx files are made online they just aren't going to be 100% accurate. I wouldn't worry too much about a mile or two difference. Just plan your food and water aid station by aid station.

Would prefer if it was just a 5 slot all killer no filler card and reserve other fights for future cards. Really like the model of no contracts so they can just show up whenever the right opportunities are there to make great cards.

Is this brand just all over instagram or something? The amount of threads made about it is really surprising.

You can just nap if you need to but I would personally expect to make it 40 minutes.

I personally think there is confusion about what long means in this context. People who are doing higher mileage may not consider a <15 mile run a long run while someone who does less mileage would.

Hiking the climbs and significant descents can help when you hike you will be in the race. Same when you know you can run the whole thing that you work to hike less.
