AC100: The Bridge/Eaton Fires & Twice over Baden Powell - Ultra Running Magazine This year’s race was difficult to pull off due to the aftermath of two major fires that affected the race at both the start in Wrightwood (WW) and the finish in Altadena.

Two wildfires, course changes, and a big climb over Baden Powell didn't stop the 2025 Angeles Crest 100 runners. Here’s how the race unfolded for the runners at the AC100.

Tips for Crewing 200-Mile Events - Ultra Running Magazine Running events of 200 miles or longer are increasing in popularity year after year.

Running into Humility - Ultra Running Magazine I cannot say that I like aging or finishing dead last or making sure of generous cutoffs before I sign up for a race, but running also hasn't stopped offering many life lessons.

“Running also hasn’t stopped offering many life lessons...”

At 65, author David Hutton reflects on aging, osteoarthritis, and how ultras can re-ground us in what matters — the trails, the finish lines (even the improvised ones), and the shared grit.
