ULTRA is a 60-page guide that breaks down trail and ultra running. For those looking to learn more about trail running, how to start, staying safe, gear, terrain training, and more. ULTRA will get you on trial for the first time or running your first ultra-marathon. You do not have to race or run an ultra to use ULTRA.
