Marshall Ulrich is an extreme endurance athlete—ultrarunning icon, Seven Summits mountaineer, and adventure racer— who is considered the “Endurance King” by Outside magazine, and “Superhuman” by Stan Lee. Ulrich’s specialty is competing in extreme conditions. He has ascended the Seven Summits, including Mount Everest, all on first attempts; crossed Death Valley (on foot, in July) a record 30 times; and finished more than 131 ultramarathons averaging over 125 miles each. At the age of 57, he broke two transcontinental speed records when he ran 3,063.2 miles in 52.5 days from San Francisco to New York, averaging almost 60 miles per day.
Heather Ulrich is Marshall’s wife and serves as the Team Assistant Crew (TAC) for the Stray Dogs. Although not an athlete herself – although she did run the Umstead 50 and Big Desert Ultra 25 – she has felt very welcomed by the Stray Dogs and the adventure racing community, including other athletes, TACs, race and production staff, and volunteers. She was the solo TAC for the Stray Dogs for The World’s Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji 2019, and was part of three-person crew for the Stray Dogs at Primal Quest, Lake Tahoe in 2003.
Ultrarunning legend Marshall Ulrich and his wife Heather are excited to announce the 2nd Annual Route 66 UltraRun November 11-13, 2023. Runners will journey through iconic Americana along 140 miles of Historic Route 66 from Seligman to Topock66 Colorado River, Arizona. NEW for 2023: Team Division! That’s right; this year you can take on the entire 140 miles yourself, with your crew of at least 2 people (and no more than 4) for a chance to win the Andy Payne Cup and a coveted Route 66 Stray Dogs belt buckle, or gather some friends and compete as a team. Teams can be 4, 5, or 6 people – you decide!
Join Travis and Mace plus their close friends to celebrate 100 EPISODES OF THE TRAVIS MACY SHOW through this fun and personal reflection on a classic ultra adventure.
