Jared’s “Running Up for Air” has become the SLC winter classic. It truly is a blast to hang out with a pile of other runners, all in support of Breathe Utah. There’s lots of great information out there about the
The Wasatch 100 is a fickle mistress. I pine for it all year and then regret its advances while in the throws of embrace. With a couple of weeks between me and this last Wasatch 100 it’s maybe time to
Boasting 12,000(?)ft of climbing in 50km the Speedgoat race seemed like a good challenge and the perfect way to prep for this year’s Wasatch 100. My summer focus has been on climbing – and I thought this would be

Old abandoned stock trails and mining trails have always had their allure for me. For the last few years I’d been considering an old stock trail that stretches across the Book Cliffs and the Tavaputs. Particularly I was interested in
I don’t know what beckoned me to this odd ridge-run. Standing at its midpoint last winter atop the Benson and Hedges Couloir I couldn’t help but wonder what lay north and south. But winter does a good job at smoothing
Howell Peak was never high on my ‘to-do’ list- probably just due to lack of hype. Most of the House Range peaks have odd appeal- Notch Peak with its enormous western face, Swasey Peak being the highest in the
