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.

 

Photo1-Marshall Ulrich head shotMarshall began running in his 30s to help manage stress and lower his blood pressure, and has since put his dreams in action by setting recordsPhoto2-Ray Zahab headshot 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 speed 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.

 

 

Come learn how to put your dreams in action -
and do for others, too!
