@schmittly: Big’s backyard ultra ended in the most poetic way possible #ultrarunning #poetic #happyending #ultramarathon #sportscommentary

Kyle :

Mark Dowdle could of kept running with them

fooseball :

Don’t like the website says Belgium out with no winners. They definitely have two winners.

Riley 🍉🏳️‍⚧️🏃 :

I LOVE that the WR is now co-held by people in their 50s??!! the future looks bright for this sport 😍

Chasing.Ultra.Alex :

It's absolutely amazing. My 11 year old dreams of holding the WR one day. His current BYU pr is 12 yards(50 miles). He's raced with both Mark Dowdle and Harvey Lewis already and ran his first 100k (62 miles) in 11 hours 44 minutes.

🇹🇴🇼🇸🇦🇸OsideHarris.Ultras :

I thought the elevation between the two courses was significantly different? Belgium’s course had less elevation?

JD_AF :

All countries not being on the same course is huge miss IMO. different elevation profiles and weather play a huge role.

adadwhotris :

Was smiling so hard watching them do this…and at 52 & 56 years young!

Owls :

What makes it DNF? Because there isn’t a single winner?

connerolson41 :

They still looked fresh too. Which was nuts!

downunderindallas :

It’s interesting they were only like 8 laps from catching Australia

Jack Theodora :

I spent all night watching the races and they stood by each other's side the entire time. At one point, in the middle of their night, Ivo didn't have time to grab his headlamp before the loop began so they ran hip too hip the entire yard.

Mudcat :

I’m a race director for a backyard ultra and I threw an absolute fit when two lovebirds did this at my race instead of battling to the death 😂

Andy Dickson :

now do you think, if he had been allowed to would Max have been able to keep going with the Belgium team?

Bart d'Oerlé :

the US won but the Belgians ran further, I don't get it

Rachel M :

love your coverage!

Danielle Edsall :

They did this a couple of years ago too! Same guys!

Simone Hamill :

I genuinely think they haven’t found their limit! Outstanding performance from them both. I was hooked watching

Nathan Shepherd :

I love ultra runner culture

David Hearne :

Incredible effort. And they’re both in their 50s! Which gives me so much inspiration to keep running ultras

Ría :

That’s really lovely

Alice Green :

1012loretta :

biancalynn79 :

That’s why running is beautiful
