Join us as we take a deep dive into the pages of our special July / August issue which features a captivating celebration of the profound experiences we encounter on the trails. From the importance of trail work and groundbreaking research to the mesmerizing stories of endurance and connection, this issue encapsulates the essence of ultrarunning.

Summer hits its stride during the first full week of July on the UltraRunning Calendar. We’ve got a robust lineup of races to choose from, including events in Ashland, Oregon, Leadville, Colorado, Brecksville, Ohio and as always, much more.

There are few places where complete strangers from different countries, cultures, beliefs and backgrounds come together and form an instant bond. Nowhere is this more evident than the Keys. Florida’s Keys 100 is so much more than a race—it’s a way of life.

This week’s Ultra Weekend Recap covers races from a 50k in California, ultras in Canada, a big 50k in Minnesota and more.

After the record-breaking and awe-inspiring performances at the 50th Western States Endurance Run on Saturday, our UltraRunning Calendar takes a bit of a breather with two dozen events to kick off the month of July. Highlights include the Québec Mega Trail festival in Canada, the Badwater 135 starting early next week in California, a large 50k in Minnesota, a timed event in Georgia and more. 

Sometimes there’s nothing that helps the miles pass more quickly and comfortably than listening to your favorite music or podcasts. We’ve spent several months testing a handful of headphone options best suited for ultrarunners. All of the products use wireless conduction, eliminating the hassle of plugs and cords, and allowing complete freedom of movement.
