Tired of Running Marathons? Try an Ultra-marathon

By Sean Hurley on Friday, October 3, 2008.

If you’re a long distance runner and the 26 mile marathon seems a little too short, you might want to consider the ultra-marathon.

New Hampshire hosts one that’s officially sanctioned – the Pisgah 50k.

For the better part of the last 20 years, runners have been gathering in Chesterfield and running for hours through Pisgah State Park.

Correspondent Sean Hurley recently laced up his running shoes and joined the 100 or so runners in this year’s race to find out a bit more about this extreme sport.
