Race organizer Tom Clifford
addresses competitors at the 2017
event. A runner makes his way
through a boggy area. Many runners
camp out the night before the race.
party and the tailgate atmosphere of
the weekend. Clifford says the event
is all about getting people out, active
and social.
“I feel like we need more of that,”
he says. “We’re in the era where we
get stuck in front of the computer,
in front of the cell phone, in front of
the TV, worried about what’s going to
happen tomorrow instead of focusing
on today and being in the moment.
It gets people out. I think that’s good
for everyone to do that once in a
while.”
Merely finishing the ultra is the
goal. Most people who run it are out
there to challenge themselves, and
they find it fulfilling when they cross
the finish line after 32 miles. It’s like a
badge of honor.
“Why do people who do endur-ance
sports, why do they choose that
direction? It’s because it relates to
your perseverance, resilience in life,”
Clifford says. “It teaches you that you
can do something that you may never
have thought you could. So when you
accomplish an endurance event, it
definitely transfers to the confidence
that you could have in life.”
