Chad Bond is awesome. He recently won the Swamp Fox 100, smashing the previous course record by more than 6 hours. After taking 4.5 years off of the 100 mile distance, Chad made an epic return at Swamp Fox, and the hard work he put in paid off.

Diana Gorder recently finished the Tideland 24 with more than 119 miles to take the overall win. Her mindset and strategy behind her training and racing is truly fascinating.

Brandon Johnston from Surfside Beach, South Carolina made the trip out west to run the Javelina Jundred and did so in under 24 hours. I accompanied him to crew and pace him. We relive it all here.

Kevin Hodak of Cary, NC recently finished 3rd overall at the brutal Uwharrie 100 in Troy, NC.

Great back of the pack story for this one. Brent Wise finished the 40 miler at the Sugg Farm Ultra with just 1:21 left before the 12-hour cutoff.

Laurie Matecki is another one of those runners who if you haven't heard of her, you've probably seen her at a race at some point. With over 150 results on Ultrasignup, Laurie is everywhere all the time. One of her most recent finishes is the Buckeye 200, which was her first 200 mile race (although she's done Vol State and HOTS).
