The date for the Loutraki Ultra festival is April 1 and
not, as was indicated on on the calendar, the 8th. Which means there
are two significant multidays taking place starting this weekend
with the Toyota
Dealers 6 day in Randburg, South Africa.
The Houston Ultra Event Weekend results and a race report by Scott
Demaree are available on the Kansas
Ultrarunners' Society site

Well, after much hufiing and puffing, I have a copy on my desk of
the latest Multiday Running magazine. This is the much delayed May/June2005
issuue... Don't hold your breath. Anyway I will be posting it out
to those to whom it has been promised and for those kind souls who
have actually sent some cash.
This is the Global Edition as it's too much to make three versions
at this time. I have material for the January 2006 magazine which
will cover the period from May/June to January 1st and will include
the Across The Years race.
Of course, I am also collecting submissions for the May/June 2006
issue which will be out before June 10th, God willing, and if you
can remember what happened to you in your last great or not so great
race then please send me a note, especially the 24 hour runners
who ran in Taiwan. There hasn't been much talk about the race up
to now.

A few people have returned their responses to the orange
box request and have provided valuable information on how to design
a good questionaire... not what I had expected of course and I would
ask all the other people who downloaded it to surprise me further
by sending a response back even if you only answered a few questions
or wanted to write something else entirely... that's fine.
Also I would like to conduct some short interviews over the phone
or elsewhere with 24 hour and multiday runners. Please send your
name to: abichal@multidays.com
| Did you run in the
2005 Across The Years event? Or another 24 hour event?
Perhaps you would like to share a little of your experience
for an article in the Jan/Feb issue of Multiday Running magazine.
