Everything turned out great— even the weather couldn’t have been better. This race has been our main event for 17 years and every improvement has been possible thanks to all of you. Our Tuesday Fun Runs at Meadowbrook Park have ended for the year, but they have moved to the Armory. Now, every Tuesday you can decide if you want to run with either the outdoor group at 6pm or the indoor group at 6:30pm. I hope to see you every week. Our Fun Runs have seen a great increase in the number of participants thanks to you, who have always brought new friends to join us. It was very nice to see all of you at the Pizza Party. Even though it was a rainy day, that didn’t stop us from having a big group at the fun run and an excellent turn out at the Pizza Party. It was great to exchange stories and see everybody once again. I would like to thank all our volunteers for all our races. The Allerton Trail Race was our last race for this year, and none of these races had been possible without the great support of our volunteers. I really appreciate the professionalism and enthusiasm that you bring to our events.

When and why did you start running? A. I ran a little in high school (I’m 45). I started running recreationally a lot in the Army and continued until about 10 years ago when work pushed running aside. A little over a year ago, I started running regularly again so I could be faster and irritate my kids (both of whom run cross-country). My new racing flats are my mid-life crisis red sports car. Q. Why did you join Second Wind? A. I joined Second Wind because I was feeling guilty about attending the speed workouts as a non-member, although Tim was too genteel (no, really) to point it out.

    ECKART LEMBERG. Born 1928. TRANSCRIPT of OH 1747V A-C This interview was recorded on November 8, 2011, for the Maria Rogers Oral History Program. The interviewer is Sara Wright. The interview also is available in video format, filmed by Jenna Woods. The interview was transcribed by Janna Plant. ABSTRACT: Born in Germany in 1928, Eckart Lemberg and his family fled to Australia after his father was incarcerated in and later released from a concentration camp in 1938. In Australia, he studied aeronautical engineering and embarked on a career in aircraft design and testing in Australia, Canada, and the United States. He has lived in Boulder since 1960. In addition to discussing his family history and his career, Mr. Lemberg tells stories about his avocations of climbing, skiing and running. After taking up running at the age of 47, he went on to compete in many mountain races, such as the Pikes Peak Marathon, the Imogene Pass Race, and the Everest Marathon—the latter being the highest marathon in the world, with a starting line at 17,000 feet. Mr. Lemberg completed the Everest Marathon three times, the last time at the age of 69. NOTE: The interviewer’s questions and comments appear in parentheses. Added material appears in brackets. [A]. 00:00 (Today is November the 8th, 2011, and my name is Sara Wright. I am interviewing Eckart Lemberg, who is an 83-year-old Boulderite who came to Boulder in 1960, and who was one of the early blazing trail-runners in Boulder—culminating, or at least a high point of that, literally, was doing Everest—the Everest Marathon.

  • 2021 Magazine
    July 2021 Welcome to the July 2021 edition of BADWATER® Magazine! We are AdventureCORPS®, producers of ultra-endurance sports events and adventure travel across the globe, and the force behind the BADWATER® brand. This magazine celebrates the entire world-wide Badwater® / AdventureCORPS® series of races, all the Badwater Services, Gear, Drinks, and Clothing, and what we like to call the Badwater Family and the Badwater Way of Life. Adventure is our way of life, so – after the sad and disastrous 2020 when we were not able to host any of our life-changing events – we are pleased to be fully back in action in 2021! Well, make that almost fully: Due to pandemic travel bans still in place, international participation in our USA-based events is not where we want it and that’s really unfortunate. Badwater 135 is the de facto Olympics of Ultrarunning and the 135-Mile World Championship, so we always want as many nationalities represented as possible. (The inside front cover of this magazine celebrates all sixty-one nationalities which have been represented on the Badwater 135 start line over the years.) Our new six-day stage race across Armenia – Artsakh Ultra – will have to wait yet another year to debut in 2022, two years later than planned. But it will be incredible, the ultimate stage race with six days of world-class trail running through several millennia of incredible culture and history, and across the most dramatic and awe-inspiring landscapes. This year, we are super excited to have brought two virtual races to life, first for the 31 days of January, and then for 16 days in April.

    NEWSLETTER 2020 POOVAMMA ENJOYING TRANSITION TO SENIOR STATESMAN ROLE IN DYNAMIC RELAY SQUAD M R Poovamma has travelled a long way from being the baby of the Indian athletics contingent in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing to being the elder FEATURED ATHLETE statesman in the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta. She has experienced the transition, slipping into the new role MR Poovamma (Photo: 2014 Incheon Asian Games @Getty) effortlessly and enjoying the process, too. “It has been a different experience over the past couple of years. Till 2017, I was part of a squad that had runners who were either as old as me or a couple of years older. But now, most of the girls in the team are six or seven years younger than I am,” she says from Patiala. “On the track they see me as a competitor but outside, they look up to me like a member of their family.” The lockdown, forced by the Covid-19 outbreak, and the aftermath have given her the opportunity to don the leadership mantle. “For a couple of months, I managed the workout of the other girls. I enjoyed the role assigned to me,” says the 30-year-old. “We were able to maintain our fitness even during lockdown.” Poovamma reveals that the women’s relay squad trained in the lawn in the hostel premises. “It was a change off the track. We hung out together. It was not like it was a punishment, being forced to stay away from the track and the gym.

    For Immediate Release – March 17, 2005 – Happy St. Patrick’s Day Contact: Nancy Hobbs, PO Box 9454 Colorado Springs, CO 80932 (719) 573-4133 Fax (719) 573-4408 E-mail: [email protected] US Mountain Runners to Compete on the Trails in Japan Six athletes will represent the United States in the inaugural 100-kilometer Japan mountain race, the “Challenger’s Race 2005,” which is to be held in the suburban mountains of Tokyo on April 29 2005. According to organizer and Japanese businessman Todd Itezono, “The event will be used as a tool to pinpoint and emphasize the wonderfulness of the natural and physical world and will serve to stress the importance of how human beings need to live symbiotically with nature, to preserve them by running through a trail, under trees, and next to plants and flowers, so to avoid any further man-made natural disasters. By inviting runners from other countries, we want to stress that such an action needs combined effort from everybody on earth, because nature does not belong to only one country but to all humanity.” The race will be run on the Okutama Mountain range outside Tokyo and will offer courses at 10km, 50km, and 100km as well as relay competition. More than 1500 runners are expected and an estimate of 10,000 spectators. US team members will compete in the 10km event, the 50km, and the 100km. The course ranges in elevations from 200 meters to more than 2000 meters. “On behalf of USA Track and Field and the World Mountain Running Association, I am delighted to be a part of this mission and look forward to competing on the trails in Japan.
