ultra endurance racing

Marathon racing is now called "ultra-endurance" racing...

Time to get the miles in...

Ever login to your www.usacycling.com account? If you did and checked into the marathon racing calendar, guess what you would find? Nothing!

This year, according to my best research, there are no "marathon" races (50+ miles and not "timed" or lap races). Instead, you'll find ULTRA ENDURANCE races: here. So what does this mean? well, it means A LOT more racing. Instead of a set amount of miles, racers will have to contend with 12-hour to 24-hour events. Some have argued that this type of racing is way more "in" than just the "50-mile" ride, but others like the set course.
