Geoff Burns is only a year into running ultramarathons, but it seems like a sport he was born for. The newly minted 100K US Champion hails from Traverse City, MI and grew up running and racing. His dad introduced him to the sport early, and he’s competed for much of his life.

It was my third time making the journey out to Bald Head Island, North Carolina, to take part in Badwater Cape Fear 51.4 mile race. Traveling from south Florida, the trek includes two flights, a car ride, a ferry, then a tram that delivers you to your rented million-dollar weekend home. Is it worth it? Absolutely! There is something old world to Bald Head Island, a laid back vibe that makes you want to toss on flip flops, grab a golden retriever, and sit on the beach taking in the waves. But first, you need to run either your 50K or 51.4 mile race.

Fail or succeed. But for the love of all things ultra – STOP making excuses!

The repeated phrase rang throughout the bright green finish area, “I can’t believe how deceivingly hard that trail is”. Hells Hills Endurance Run got this name for a reason. This trail system isn’t in the mountains. It doesn’t gain or lose a ton of elevation. But it just never stops going up and down and left and right.
