“When I finished the run across Switzerland and proposed to my wife (the first 6 runs were to win her heart;-) we flew back home via Lisbon. This was 2017.

Now at 55, I’m taking it back in 2026.” “This challenge was created by a man [Marshall Ulrich] who had already conquered every ridiculous foot race there was. At some point, there was nothing left to do...

When 38-year old firefighter Dave Heckman came up with the idea to circumnavigate the US Death Valley National Park during the hottest part of the Summer, completely unaided and unassisted, even the 61-year old accomplished adventurer Marshall Ulrich thought it was crazy and impossible.Nevertheless the two men began their journey of 425 miles on 22 July 2012. No one has attempted to circumnavigate the park, and certainly not during the heat of Summer when the threats of dehydration and heat stroke are dire, with temperatures exceeding 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Imagine remote areas, immense sand dunes, rock formations, salt flats, steep...
