THE AID STATION

The Aid Station is a virtual space for communal sharing and support. It is open-source in that all (DFL to middle-of-the-pack to frontrunners; from veterans to those training for their first ultra; runners, crewmembers, volunteers, RDs, and fans alike) are welcome and encouraged to contribute content: stories, race reports, blog posts, essays, photographs, videos, etc. The hope is to share information and entertainment, and foster connection in a way that is more user-friendly than a communal tub of vaseline next to M&Ms and potato chips at some other aid stations... All content is curated by ULTRA CULTURE and credited to the original author(s). To contribute to the Aid Station please submit here.

“If you want to go fast, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.”
