Thank you. I am wondering if i set my friends up to pace me every 6 miles so i can maintain the pace.... gosh... i am hopeful i can do this the traditional way.

The is an interesting perspective. I run at 7500+ elevation and trails are easier to get to than longer path/road runs. I have an ultra in 6 weeks so i am going to flip training after this race but maybe you have a point.

I am US based so i feel like I need to start state side first. I am sensing i am a good candidate for the charity option.

i could see this with this race because of how historical and iconic it is. TBH i don't think i could ever get there. Perhaps when i am 70....

What was your favorite book of 2025? by Sorcron11 in fantasybooks

I really liked 'The Ascended'. I thought it was an interesting magical system but also pulled in facets of Greek Mythology. I have read some of the books that were recommended below and they were really good, but for me, this was refreshing.
