A Remarkable Athlete

'Ben Light is running two extreme ultra-marathon races that start on the same day'

Utah ultra-endurance athlete Ben Light is running two extreme ultra-marathon races that start on the same day but are located in two different parts of the United States. At 5:00 AM on September 7, Ben will cross the starting line of the Wasatch Front 100 Mile Endurance Run. After running 100 miles with 47,000 feet of elevation change, Ben will be shuttled to the Heber, Utah airport where he will catch a jet and hopefully an hour or so of sleep as he flies to Truckee, California. He will then be shuttled to the starting line of the Tahoe 200 Endurance Run where he will begin this race 25 hours after it has already started. Ben will complete the 205 mile course with 80,400 feet of elevation change before the 1:00 PM September 11 cut off. Ben has chosen this ‘Remarkable 105 hour Journey’ spanning 305 miles and 127,400 feet of elevation change requiring unwavering determination to raise awareness and donations for Utah-based Neuroworx.
