What 200 Ultras Looks Like

200 Ultramarathon Finishes

I finished my 200th ultramarathon at the 2016 JFK 50 Mile. For the purposes of my record keeping, I consider an ultra to be any organized, competitive footrace longer than 26.2 miles. Other ultramarathoners have also reached this milestone. Notables like Roy Pirrung, Susan Donnelly, Catra Corbett, Tom Green (the father of the Grand Slam) and Rob Apple are among this group. Here's an inclusive list of my 200 ultramarathon finishes (including DNFs), marathon performances and a few other fun nuggets of information.
