Welcome to Mountain Peak Fitness Ultra Running

Our goal, and focus is to promote the outdoors and the sport of ultrarunning. We would like to build a strong community of outdoor enthusiast to help preserve our lands as well as bring unity and knowledge to the sport of ultrarunning within the tri-state area. In doing so we can all share in the deep roots and fellowship the sport of ultrarunning offers.

Ultrarunning is not just about belt buckles & winning, it is a journey of self exploration. It’s a journey that offers a wonderful opportunity to connect with your mind, body and soul through nature and the extremes. One can only gain a sense of this by getting outside and exploring their enduring ability to last. When you shed yourself of all limits and focus on just simply taking the next step forward, at a time when your sense of the moment is more alive then ever, you will begin to gain insight into what it is to be an ultrarunner...

If your a road runner, triathlete or anyone that is looking to be part of something bare bone, true to the spirit and humbling to the strongest athletes in the world, then come on out and join us on our next Group training run to gain more insight about ultrarunning.
