About the Author
Marshall Ulrich is a versatile, world-class extreme endurance athlete: an ultrarunner, Seven Summits mountaineer, and adventure racer. His prolific athletic career has earned him numerous wins, records, and firsts on some of the toughest courses in the world, and taken him to the top of the highest mountains, including Mount Everest—all in his forties and fifties. He defies the ideas of “too far,” “too old,” and “not possible.”
In 2008, at the age of fifty-seven, Marshall clocked the all-time third-fastest crossing on foot from San Francisco (or L.A.) to New York City, and set new records for the masters and grand masters divisions.
The proud parent of Elaine, Taylor, and Ali, he lives with his wife, Heather, in the mountains of Colorado.
To contact Marshall and learn where and when you can attend one of his training camps, climb mountains with him as your guide, or hear him speak about his adventures in person, please visit MarshallUlrich.com.
