2025 was a great year for tackling ultras at age 66. I set a course record in one ultra, and placed third in my age group in another. Read more in my race reports.

If you haven’t tackled any of the Badger Palooza ultra events, you should. You have many options: 24hr, 12hr, 6hr or relays offered in all of these events. Power walking ultra events at any age, but especially for aging runners like myself, is key. I feel more energetic, efficient, and a lot less tired power walking. No doubt, my body, now approaching age 67, no longer moves fast.  But I broke my own record at Badger Palooza. I shaved off 22:18 seconds.
