Run Across America

 
http://www.runacrossamerica2002.com/

This website was set up to be the official website of Run Across America 2002, a 3100 mile, 71-day stage race from LA to New York. Details of this race are still on this site and can be found on the Contents to the left.
 
However, this site is now becoming more generic in nature and here you will be able to find information about all the races across America (there have now been eight) and also information about individual (journey) runs, or as many of these as I know about. Also listed in the CONTENTS are recent and current runs.

http://www.walkwitharose.com.au/

"To walk from Canberra to Brisbane to raise awareness of acquired brain injury (ABI), whilst raising money for the National Brain Injury Foundation for the improvement of support services and rehabilitation equipment for the benefit of people affected by ABI”The aim of the walk is partly to raise money for the NBIF, it is also an awareness-raising activity aimed at educating communities about the fact that many people with ABI have to reside in nursing homes.The walk will commence on the 1st of June 2006. Amy plans to walk 30kms each ‘walking day’ and expects to complete her trek in eight weeks.

There was an article about Amy Banson in the Canberra  Times today. I wish her the best of luck with her walk.

New Helper

Hi everyone, my name is Keith Thompson and I live in Eastport Idaho. I'm a new helper that Phil is letting me get involved with the World Ultra News. I'm very new to ultras, I've only run two in the last year and half. I have run a 50 miler and 100 miler. I love meeting new people at the runs and learning from some really great people who I've talked to for multiple hours running with them. I hope to continue to learn and grow in this wonderful sport. Thanks Keith.

It appears as though Serge Girard’s run across Europe and Asia is going well.

The 7th annual Oak Mountain 50K trail run will be held in just over 7
weeks on 3/25/06 at Oak Mountain State Park near Birmingham, AL. The
course features hills, rocks, streams, lakes, waterfalls, nice views, aid stations at 4-6 miles, and no repeating trail loops with about 4,000 ft elevation change. Come and see why this has been described as one of the most scenic trail runs in the deep south.
