The weekend before Thanksgiving on our UltraRunning Calendar offers up some great opportunities to earn your feast next Thursday. There are boatloads of options around the continent, but we’re highlighting the historic JFK 50 in Maryland, a 50/50 in Utah and the 15th edition of a 50/50 on a ranch in Texas.

What a weekend for ultrarunning in North America. In Illinois, we saw a new World Record, age group records and course records go down. We also have results from Oregon where a 50k course record was smashed, as well as results from a California 50k and more.

There are just under two months remaining on our 2023 North American UltraRunning Calendar, but there are still tons of places to get out and find a finish line across the nation if you’re in need of some last-minute inspiration. This week in our What’s Up in Ultra column, we’re highlighting a potentially record-setting Tunnel Hill in Illinois, a 50/50 near to the UltraRunning headquarters in Central Oregon, a 50k on Mt. Tamalpais in the San Francisco Bay Area and more.

Like most shoes, low and zero drop shoes seem to work well for some and not so well for others. To be clear, this isn’t a rant against low drop shoes.

However, I have also had to work with the problems they can cause, and get frustrated with the lack of choices in higher drop shoes.
