Half-a-second to reflect, my first post-retirement week in Colorado & a regalia of state medals to link together.  50K every day for 11 days.  Whatta life ‘rewirement’ kick-off!

REFLECTION>  Things I’d do different.  Things I did surprisingly ok.  Windows of possibilities open for the next 11 ½ months forward.  All positive stuff.

I set an outrageous goal.  Surrounded myself with like-minded run folk & soaked-in their stories & experiences.  Helped reset the physicality of another day, mental fatigue, continuous highway travel, motel check-ins, packing/repacking of supplies.

‘Get to the start, get to the finish’ — I didn’t look further than the day at present. One lap, grab a rubberband.  5 laps you ‘colour up’, trade-in 4 naked bands for a red rubber.

Run a half, run/walk/jog a half.

Eat.  Not just gels.  EAT.  Days I missed my 4000 calories goal, days I felt depleted.

And of course… sunblock the LIPS.  Lesson learned.  Ugh.

Welcome to the home of the World Megamarathon Ranking 300+.

Below you will find the links to separate listings for the World Megamarathon Ranking 300+ as well as a breakdown of the USA and North American Megamarathon Ranking 300+. The current World totals reflect the marathons/ultras run in the previous period ending either June 30 or December 31.

We are not a running club; there are no dues and nobody is trying to sell you a T-shirt. Instead, we are a group of runners who happen to enjoy running marathons (26.2 miles) and ultras (any distance longer than a marathon) and will go to the ends of the earth to run them…and we run them often. In fact, the runners on this list have run more sanctioned marathons/ultras than anyone else in the world. We represent a mere 0.0000000427% of the people on this planet. More people have orbited the earth in outer space, and more climbers have summited Mt. Everest than have completed the 300 or more marathons/ultras required to have been included on this list.

The World Megamarathon Ranking 300+ is updated once a year to reflect the new career totals of marathons/ultras finished for each runner as December 31 of that year.

Congratulations for your remarkable achievements.
