Payge McMahon writes for Women’s Adventure Magazine on what it is like, Gearing Up for a 160-Mile Backpack Race.

A first of its kind self-supported ultra in North America, it is a first of any kind of marathon for McMahon. More of a backpacker and mountain climber versus a runner, she is stepping out of her comfort zone for this amazing challenge.
