The Monarch Ultra starts tomorrow.
A couple of years ago, Carlotta James of Peterborough, Ontario, was on a run and noticed several monarch butterflies along her path. As an eco-landscaper and lifetime lover of science and tiny critters that most people ignore, James was enchanted by the insects swarming around her.from Ontario to Mexico every fall, a journey that has always fascinated James and scientists all over the world. As she continued on her run, wheels in James’s head started turning.
And thus the Monarch Ultra was born: a 4,200-kilometer ultramarathon that will take place in the fall of 2019, beginning in southern Ontario and ending in central Mexico to trace the migratory route of monarch butterflies. As her love of science grew, so did her love of running. Just like the monarchs she studies, traversing long distances became James’s way of overcoming challenges and coming out stronger on the other side.will take you through everything you need to know to get started, step by step]
Her team is asking for ultrarunners to participate in just one leg of the race, either 50 or 100K. Runners won’t be allowed to complete more than 100K, so no one is stuck waiting for the previous runner to finish. There will be aid stations every 10 kilometers and “Monarch Ambassadors” throughout the course who are able to communicate with one another if part of the route becomes blocked or a runner has to withdraw.
