Thoughts on running Sunmart: “When December comes I look forward to making the trip to Texas for my final race of the year. Everyone is well taken care of from the pre-race dinner, to the race morning breakfast and finally the post race barbecue. We get to attend a weekend long party of ultrarunners with a competitive race in the middle. Sunmart is one of the best organized, probably the best organized, ultra in the country.”

Thoughts on running Sunmart: “I suffered a broken fibula in 2004, and it’s been really hard getting back into running. But, I feel very fortunate to be running again. I think Sunmart is at the top of the list of big things in Texas. I love running in Texas. Sunmart is the best ultra in the US. I hope I will be able to run it until I can't run anymore. Hopefully that's not any time soon!”

Thoughts on running Sunmart: “There are so many great elements to running Sunmart. The people and volunteers are what make this event so special. They have made the event one of the best in the country. Everything including the event organization, trail and the food are really outstanding! I have run for the past seven years and it keeps getting better. I know I can count on great support on the trail and hope to run the 50 mile this year.”
