HELP - Please help support the USA 100 Km National Team

The USA 100 Km National Team will be traveling to the 2009 International Association of Ultra Runners (IAU) 100Km World Cup competition in Torhout, Belgium on Friday night, June 19, 2009. The IAU 100Km World Cup is the most prestigious ultra marathon race in the world and serves as the 100Km world championship race. For more details, see: http://www.nvv.be/index_en.php

American runners must meet strict qualification criteria to make the National Team. However, USA Track and Field does not provide financial support for the team members who will represent the United States at the World Cup competition. Each of the 15 team members (6 men, 6 women, 3 support staff) must pay their own way, and the cost per member can be up to $2,500.

If you would like to help support the USA 100 Km National Team, you can make a charitable donation to:
  • Fund for National Ultra Running Teams, Inc.
  • P.O. Box 1807
  • Madison, WI 53701-1807
Any amount is welcome. Your tax free donation will aid in defraying the cost that these team members bear while representing the United States at the world championship of ultra marathons.
