Marshall Ulrich is a published author, having his stories published in magazines and books; and even more stories have been written about him (see the Media page). Marshall's first book by Gotham (the Penguin Group) Running on Empty Marshall's first book (working title) Running on Empty will chronicle his record-breaking transcontinental run across America in 2008 at the improbable age of 57, filled with stories from the road and his career as an extreme athlete, along with absorbing insight into the mind-bending and body-breaking obstacles he face along the way. Marshall's run was an epic 3,063-mile crossing of the U.S. from San Francisco, CA to New York City, NY in only 52.5 days. That means he ran an average of over 58 miles per day. That's two marathons plus (almost) a 10K each and every day, day after day, after day... for 52 days in row. Marshall completed his run across America September 13 - November 4, 2008. Marshall completed the run because he truly believes in putting Dreams in Action. There were a number of things Marshall wanted to do during his lifetime. Things like climbing Mount Everest, and setting ultrarunning records. One of the last things on his list of Dreams was running across the country. So, that's what he did, in fine style! Marshall broke the Grand Masters (over 50 years old) and the Masters (over 40 years old) record for running across America by running the equivalent of 117 marathons in just over 52 days - making his crossing the third fastest ever on the San Fran or LA to NYC route. Now, that's putting your Dreams in Action! Let Marshall help you put your Dreams in Action. Discover what you're made of... it's more than you think! Marshall's book about his run across America will be published in early 2011 by Gotham, a part of Penguin publishing.

Testimonials Marshall has written a wide range of stories and articles for various publications. Here are just some of the comments about his writing!
I have been a subscriber to Marathon & Beyond since inception and have considered Marshall's articles [Badwater Solo, Badwater Quad, and Transformation articles] to be among the best of that tremendous publication.
Today I quietly read Marshall's various writings. Not surprisingly, all of his stories are wonderful. They take one away into his world. What more could a story want to do? Thanks for sharing his writings with me. My favorite, of course, is Everest [his daily journal].
Fantastic article in [the Sept/Oct 2006 issue of] Marathon & Beyond! Thanks very much for telling us about yourself. I have long been inspired by your exploits. One day soon, I will run Death Valley. I want to find what is out there, what you, Benyo, Provost, and others know already. One day...
WOW!! I kept thinking: not only can this guy survive incredible physical and mental demands, this guy can write! When Marshall retires from all this extreme physical endurance he should write for [a national magazine]. Re: chapter about Marshall's experiences in adventure racing, contributing author, The Thrill of Victory, the Agony of My feet.
Wanted you to know how much I enjoyed reading your latest story Transformation of an Adventure Runner. [M&B Sept/Oct 06]I ran in India with you back in 1993. We were there for the 100 mile stage race that Force 10 Expeditions put on that year. My, how much you have done since! I continue to try to get answers from inside. Not always an easy thing to do but always better than not trying.
Marshall's article in the Sept/Oct 2006 issue of M&B was excellent. What I like most about him is how genuine and open he is. I get the impression that what he shows the world is exactly who he is. If only more people were like that and realized what is really important in this life. His statement, "I realized that stepping outside of yourself and doing for others is the true essence of life." is a truth that many live their whole lives without discovering. It is the relationships with others, the chance to do even the smallest thing to help someone, the positive impact you can have on others and they on you, that is important. Another good point was when Marshall answered the question about what you accomplish by summiting Mount Everest by saying, "Not much, unless you learn something along the way." It is the journey that has meaning and there are so many journeys in this life that we have a chance to learn from and teach others, both positive and negative Marshall's article was very well-written and he has so much to teach others. He not only raises money for the Religious Teachers, but he follows their philosophy to "Go and Teach! Juli Aistars, RN |
