Multiday and ultrarunning in Australia
Phil Essam is researching a history of ultrarunning in Australia that includes runners histories, race reports and other information that shows the development of the sport up to the present time. This page is a collection of links to pages on Phil's site, PlanetUltramarathon.
Would just like to thank Andy Milroy, Alan Staples, Tim Erickson, Phil Lear, Fred Brooks and Kevin Cassidy for their contributions in providing the information for this site or keeping me focused within an "Historical" perspective.
A lot of these articles were written by Ian Cornelious (who also deserves thanks) and originally appeared in Ultramag which is the quarterly magazine put out by the Australian Ultrarunning Association.
