Grand Canyon Rim to Rim

One of My Running Bucket List Items Is To Run, (pause for effect)

The GRAND CANYON Rim to Rim to Rim

Not sure when, where or how I came up with this idea, I might have read about it on another blog, or in Runners World or maybe it was a feature in, (what I believe is the best running publication on the planet), Marathon and Beyond,  I'm not sure.  But this run sounds like the ultimate ultra run.  There are longer runs, there maybe steeper climbs and there may just be more challenging terrain, but running the Grand Canyon...is after all RUNNING

THE

GRAND

CANYON!

As of today, I'm only in the information gathering phase of my planned run.  I'm going to review as many Rim to Rim to Rim accounts as I can find.  I'm going to get a feel for the logistics, I'm going to study the route and I'm going to learn from theose who have run the Canyon.  Right now I'm thinking May 2014/15.  

The Rim to Rim to Rim (south rim to north rim and back) run is a 46 mile course with over 11,000 feet of elevation change. This is one of those bucket list runs for ultra marathoners and it will be a great experience, a one of a kind way to see the Grand Canyon.

I've found a few inspiring reads and videos.
