Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to keep running ultras into my 60s. 

Personal:

Details at: http://www.crockettclan.org/ultras/ultracrockett.pdf Married with six kids and six grandchildren.  Started running at the age of 46 in 2004.  My first race since Junior High days was a 50K. I skipped the shorter road stuff and went straight to ultramarathons.  I started as a back-of-the packer, but have progressed to a top-10-percent ultra finisher.  Wish I would have started running at a much earlier age.  Have had several articles published in national running magazines.  Check out my running adventure blog at www.crockettclan.org/blog

Staying loose. Treadmill.  8:00 pace feels comfortable.

 Here is the info to track me at Across the Years 48-hours.  I will be starting on Day #2, on Sunday.  Don't be confused, On Day #1, Saturday, a group of 48-hour runners also start, so they will have a big lead when I get going.  Also each day a group of 24-hour runners start and all the 72-hour runners start on Saturday.   They usually use colors in the webcast to identify which race the runner is in.   I'll be wearing yellow shirts most of the time if you want to pick me out in the webcam.

Webcast & Social Media Interaction:

We will have a live webcast for friends and family to monitor the race and will also be doing extensive social media coverage this year on Facebook and Twitter.  If you as a runner want to interact before or during the race, please post to our Aravaipa Running Facebook page or use the Twitter hashtag #ATY2012.  We also encourage crews, family & friends at the race venue or watching at home to also visit the Facebook and Twitter pages! 

 

We will also be posting stories about runners who are participating in this years race on our Facebook page. If you have a unique story and would like to share a 90 second video interview on why you are running Across The Years, please see Nathan Coury (our social media coordinator) starting on December 28th at the race.  He will be hanging around the timing tent posting updates online throughout the race. 

 

Here are the important links to share with your family & friends to track the race and interact online:

Runner Mail System:

We have decided to discontinue the runner mail system this year in lieu of an increased social media and online presence which we hope everyone will enjoy. (This will also help to use a lot less paper during the event!) We encourage runners, family, friends, and supporters to checkout Facebook and Twitter to interact with each other.
