The pace always seems to pick up during fall months on our UltraRunning Calendar, and this week is no different—we have 60 events happening across the country. In San Francisco, a 50k World Record attempt is taking place, there’s a 240-mile single-loop race in Utah, a classic 50k/50m on the Ice Age Trail and a whole lot more.

CJ Albertson, 29, from Fresno, California, will attempt to reclaim his 50k World Record at the 35th Annual Ruth Anderson Memorial Run in San Francisco, California, on Saturday, October 8 at Lake Merced.

The final quarter of the year is here, and it’s definitely starting to feel like fall. Per popular reader request, What’s Up In Ultra is coming to you a day earlier so some of you might have a better chance lining up last minute at one of the races highlighted on our North American UltraRunning Calendar. This weekend we have a historic 100-miler in the Land of Opportunity, a flat and fast point-to-point trifecta of ultras a couple hours west of the Windy City, a premier 50k in the Scenic City and a ton more.
