The next Sugg Farm Ultra group training run is on March 15th at 7 AM. Come join us for a fun 5 or 10-mile run, and stick around for some coffee and snacks afterward! It’s helpful to know if you’re coming, so please RSVP on Strava or Facebook. There is no need to be signed up for the race in September to join the monthly group runs, but just a heads up—early bird registration for the Sugg Farm Ultra ends on 4/1!
Are you free on the weekend of 5/17? Come volunteer with us at the Agapé 100k + 50k! We have various time slots and opportunities for you to join us for a fun time in the woods while supporting our runners. You can register here. Thank you so much!
Look At All These FKTs!
Deanna Doane has broken the Florida Trail FKT with a total time of 19 days, 12 hours, and 13 minutes! She started in Big Cypress National Preserve and finished at Fort Pickens—averaging 57 miles a day over the course of 1,111 miles.
After 31 days, 19 hours, and 41 minutes, Karel Sabbe arrived at the end of the Te Araroa (TA) trail in Bluff, New Zealand, the southernmost point of the South Island, setting a massive new men’s supported FKT on the 1,898-mile trail.
John Ruemker bested his previously held FKT on the 44-mile American Tobacco Trail out-and-back route! This time he got it done in a total time of 6 hours, 40 minutes, and 19 seconds.
Jamil Coury (Aravaipa Running) ran more than 700 miles on a 354-meter stretch of sidewalk in Tempe, Arizona. He, along with over 150,000 other runners, was participating in the Chipotle City Challenge on Strava, where the athlete who ran the most efforts on a designated Strava segment in each city during the month of January would win 52 free burritos.
Sophie Power recently broke the record for the most distance covered by a woman on a treadmill in 48 hours, with more than 365 km (226.8 miles). It follows an equally impressive feat last year, in which she became the fastest female to cross Ireland on foot.
