A Look Back at My 2025 Ultramarathon Races: 72-hr Track Ultra, 50K Track Ultra & Two 12-hr Loop Ultras

Clockwise: Old Six Day 72-hr track ultra, Dawn to Dusk to Dawn 50K track ultra, Sri Chinmoy 12-hr, and Badger Palooza 12-hr

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.

If you missed my Old Six Day 72-hr track ultra, Dawn to Dusk to Dawn 50K track ultra, Sri Chinmoy 12hr and my Badger Palooza 12hr race reports, you'll find them below.

Now it's onto training for my first ultra in 2026 and my 42nd ultra, the Old Six Day 144-hr track ultra in April. I hope you had a good 2025 of races in any distance at your running and power walking pace. Don't underestimate the power of walking, consistency, and determination in all distances and in all kinds of weather to help you cross the finish line.

Here's to 2026! Train well. Race well. Keep smiling. And remember, finishing is winning!
