NEWS BRIEF – LOCAL NEWS WRITTEN BY JIM ROBBINS TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 2013 10:54 FREEHOLD, NJ – Five hundred and 22 road racers (522) competed In the 24th annual St. Paddy’s 10 Mile Race (333 total) and 19th an- nual Leprechaun 5K (189 total) presented by the Freehold Area Run- ning Club (FARC) at Michael J.

  • Camille and Comrades
    July 2017 Issue No. 255 CAMILLE AND COMRADES: Herron reflects on historic win at world’s premier ultramarathon By Jenni Carlson Camille Herron sat at a high-top table away from the hustle and bustle of the burger joint. The weekday lunch rush at The Garage in Midtown was largely over, but after a late-morning workout at Lake Hefner – she wanted to run in the heat and the wind -- a burger overflowing with toppings and an order of sweet potato fries sat in front of her. She needed calories. She wanted fuel. But for long stretches, the food went untouched – Herron was talking about her running instead of eating. And there’s lots to talk about these days. When Herron and I met for a late lunch, it was only two weeks after the Oklahoma native’s historic win at the Comrades Marathon in South Africa. She became only the third American, male or female, to win the world’s most prestigious ultramarathon. And it was only a week or so before she went to the Western States 100, one of trail racing’s biggest events. Herron, 35, couldn’t have been more excited about what she’s already accomplished this year, starting with Comrades. “I won the World Cup,” she said, trying to explain how big Comrades is in the world of ultramarathoning. She went to Comrades for the first time three years ago. At that point, she was transitioning to Camille Herron ultramarathoning after an extremely successful See Camille, on page 6 marathoning career -- she won the Oklahoma City www.okcrunning.org July 2017 President’s Message By Matthew Wilcoxen, President Summer has sprung!

  • 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.
