Antelope Island Buffalo Run

Antelope Island Buffalo Run
25K, 50K, 50-mile, 100-mile
March 25-26, 2011


I was running  Antelope Island this weekend and must have seen over 50 trail runners out there training for the big event! Teammate Jim Skaggs has put together one of the biggest events there is with runners from 4 events trekking along side the Buffalo’s…I’m used to seeing them in the daylight but it might be a little scary at night as I plan on running the inaugural 100 miler Jim added to his list of distances.

Stay tuned for race updates>>>

Meltzer finishes PONY EXPRESS with 105 mile leg

The man himself continues to raise the bar as he says..finishing the Pony Express Trail with a 105 mile leg in 20:23, what the hell? For us mortals imagine running about 50 miles a day for 39 days and throwing down a 105 leg at the end to just for the fun of it, unbelievable. I talked to Karl this morning before starting his trek back to Utah..he mentioned one day he ran about 23 miles or so stopped played 9 holes of golf and banged out another 27 ..gezzzz. OK, next time I boob to myself at a 100 miler I better think twice, well done Karl,..10 scrapes!
