Last Chance to Run Far

The traditional obstacle course race season may be fading fast, but distance running has emerged as the ultimate test of grit—and there's still time to prove yourself before 2020 closes out. When the walls came down and the mud pits dried up, ultra runners discovered that pure endurance is the most unforgiving obstacle of all. Lace up for one final shot at 50K, 100-milers, and everything in between, across some seriously challenging courses from the Deep South to Hawaii.

Distance has become the most readily available obstacle for a lot of runners. Even Spartan Race, which had to cancel most of this year’s traditional obstacle course races, managed to proceed with a number of their trail races. Without the normal walls, crawls, and Atlas balls, Spartans have learned to push themselves by running further and further. As the year nears its end, here are some long distance races you can still enjoy in 2020.
