About
Welcome to Beyond Marathon. New look Google Maps driven website launched January 2011.
What is this site about?
Ultra runners are lacking a comprehensive source of information about worldwide events, and we hope to change that.
This site is certainly not just a 'list' of worlwide ultras. It contains facts, figures and statistics which will help you decide which race is right for you. If you are new to the sport it is the perfect place to find information.
If you're an ultra runner already, you'll find the site is useful to find your next challenge. You can use the calendar or search facliity to find events too
Integrated into the site event is a Facebook page link, where new event notifications can be posted, and events discussed. Go and "Like" our page to ensure you are kept up to date.
Thank you to all the Race Directors for kind permission to feature their races, and for the use of their website materials.
If your race isn't on the site, then drop us a line and ensure you don't miss the place where everyone will be looking.
We'll be posting ultra news and gear reviews on the main site too.
