Next stop: your first ultra. 🚂

The Freight Train 100K/50K rolls out of the Farmville Train Depot on Saturday, December 5 in Farmville, VA. It's a flat, fast rail trail with under 1,500 ft of gain for the entire 100K, which makes it a perfect first ultra (or a very good excuse to chase a PR).

🚂 100K starts at 7:30am
🚃 50K and 50K Hiker start at 8:30am
🚋 Half and Half Hiker start at 9:00am

Every finisher takes home a handmade pottery award, and yes, even DFL gets recognized. 🏺

Monday Motivation 🏔️
History was made in the mountains.
Mammoth TrailFest offered the world’s first prize purse for para athletes in trail running, awarding more than $6,500 to adaptive athletes who raced the 26K.

Leading the division was Paralympic cross country skier Dani Aravich, who crossed the line in 3:00:46. That put her 70th overall and 19th among all women in the field. 💥
Huge respect to Mammoth TrailFest for putting real money behind inclusion, and to every adaptive athlete who toed the line and proved that trails are for everyone.

12 miles. One aid station. Zero cell service (probably). 🌲

The Cook Forest Highland Fall Scramble takes you point to point through some of the most remote miles of the North Country Trail in Pennsylvania. Park, hop the shuttle, and run your way home to Shelter #1 in Cook Forest State Park.

Fair warning: 1,803 ft of gain and a course profile that looks a lot like your heart rate at mile 9. But hey, it’s technically net downhill. Technically.

📍 Cooksburg, PA
📅 Sunday, Oct 25 at 9 AM
🍬 One aid station at mile 6
⏰ Registration closes Sunday, Oct 11

Course records sit at 1:27:40 and 2:03:40. Think you can catch them?

Your sign to run long this fall... 🍂
The Lake Murray Endurance Run returns Saturday, October 24 to Lake Murray State Park near Ardmore, OK. Oklahoma’s first and largest state park offers 12,500+ acres of forested rolling hills, 30+ miles of trail, and an iconic stone tower watching over the lake.
Choose your adventure: 5 Mile, 25K, 50K, 100K, or 100 Miler. The course runs from flat and fast to rocky and rugged, so there’s a start line for everyone from first timers to buckle chasers. Finish the 100 in under 24 hours and that turquoise buckle is yours. 🏆
Just 90 minutes from DFW and OKC, with lodge, cabin, and camping options right in the park. It’s also a cupless race, so bring your own bottle or cup.

⏰ Prices go up after October 7. Register now at ultrasignup.com

12.4 miles. 4,000 feet up. 4,000 feet down. No ultra required. 🐯⛰️

Mountain Tiger Diablo is bringing its rowdy spirit to the Bay's most badass mountain on Saturday, October 10 in Clayton, CA.

The loop starts at Mitchell Canyon and wastes zero time: 1,700 feet of climbing in the first 2.5 miles up Eagle Peak, then straight up Bald Ridge to the summit of Mount Diablo. What goes up must come down, and this descent drops 4,000 feet in 6 miles via Prospector's Gap and Back Creek Trail. Your quads have been warned. 🦵

Brutal, beautiful, and over by lunch. With a 5-hour cutoff, everyone's welcome.

✅ Shuttle to and from the start included
✅ Post-race raffle entry
✅ Unique finisher's item

⏰ Price goes up to $120 on October 1. Registration closes October 7.

You’re not afraid of running more. You’re afraid of getting slow. 🐢

CTS coach Cliff Pittman explains why that fear has it backwards, and why volume, done right, is the most specific thing you can train for an ultra. Even the mile is 84% aerobic. Imagine what 100 of them demand.

Inside the full article: the physiology behind your aerobic engine, where intensity still fits, and how to build volume without breaking down.
