Take a run with Ultra Stories as we discuss the history of the 200-mile ultra. Human Potential’s Director of Human Experience Hollis Lyman sits down with Sherpa John as he tells the in-depth story of how the first 200-mile ultra in the world came to be. From there, we discuss path of the 200-miler, the current 200-mile scene, how the distance has grown and where we see it going moving forward. If you’re intrigued by the 200-mile distance, this is your history lesson.
