Your Hosts and Trainers

Marshall Ulrich and Ray Zahab are ultra running legends - and just regular guys. At the DNA/i2P Running Camp you have the extraordinary opportunity to learn from their experiences.

Marshall began running in his 30s to help manage stress and lower his blood pressure, and has since put his dreams in action by setting records in ultra running, mountaineering, and adventure racing.

Until late 1998, Ray was a sedentary smoker. Since then he has proven that the impossible is in fact possible by running across the Sahara and setting a Guinness World Record on foot to the South Pole.

Through the years Marshall and Ray have learned that the real successes in life come when you do for others. They find great joy in teaching others and sharing their life – and training, running, and racing – experiences with people like you! Both are also dedicated philanthropists and will share ideas with you about how you can run for a reason. They will also share ideas about how you can run with the least amount of impact on the earth.

Discover What You're Made Of! Discover Anything is Possible!

During a five-day DNA running camp you will learn that you are made out of the same stuff as Marshall and Ray.

You will learn how to improve your running for all kinds of races, including road, desert, stage, mountain, and trail races!
