This coming Sunday in Sydney a good friend and her husband
will be hosting the second Centennial Park Ultra Marathon. There is both a 50KM
and a 100KM option with runners completing laps of the park.
While many people would question the sanity of those running loops of a park in quest for a distance, there is method in this madness as it provides an ideal and safe opportunity for people to venture into the world of ultra running without getting lost in the bush.
Now it is usually the same little community that attend these events and also volunteer their time, however you always get a few characters who seem to come out of the woodwork such as two young chaps last year who asked me when they would start to hallucinate and ‘see God’ during the 100KM. As it is a safe ultra, there was no hallucinating or seeing God and everyone finished just fine.
Anyone in the area who is interested should come on down this Sunday. A great community event and introduction to ultra running.
