Articles on Ultra Walkers

Over the years, I have profiled many of the wonderful ultra distance walkers who have excelled in years past, from Captain Barclay and the pedestrians through to the modern era. I have tried to gather some of those here. There are of course others whom I have to rummage out when time permits.

Of course, there are always the biographies of our own Australian Centurions which you can read at http://www.centurions.org.au/centprof.shtml.

Always ready to accept and host articles by other authors. It would be good to build up a more extensive history via stories.
