Vegan Ultramarathoner Scott Jurek Wins Again

 

.... Scott Jurek has won the grueling Badwater

Ultramarathon for the second year in a row. Known as

the toughest footrace on earth, this 135-mile race

takes runners from Death Valley, where temperatures

often soar to 130 degrees Fahrenheit, to the trailhead

of Mt. Whitney in California.

 

The runners cross three mountain ranges with a

combined vertical ascent and descent of over 17,000

feet... Jurek, who has been following a vegan diet

since 1999, credits his wins to his healthy diet,

which allows for faster recovery to restore his body

to a higher level of conditioning.

 

Jurek was named Runner's World Hero of 2005 and

UltraRunning magazine's Ultrarunner of the Year in

2003, 2004, and 2005. In 2003, he was awarded

UltraRunning magazine's Performance of the Year.
