The Tulsa World Route 66 Marathon and the Mother Road 100 ultramarathon both were more than a month ago, but stuff about it is still coming over the Internet.
The Augusta (Kan.) Daily Gazette has a story about Rich Dennett, 44, who ran the 100-mile event in time of 28 hours, 53 minutes.
“It really cleans you out between the ears if you know what I mean,” said Dennett as he tried explaining to me why he wanted to do it.
The McPherson (Kan.) Sentinel has a short story about a father and his son who ran in the Tulsa event. Nikolaus, 13, ran the half-marathon, and his dad, David, finished his fourth full marathon in a respectable time of 3 hours, 25 minutes.
