11th 50 States Journey Complete
Jun Ulama congratulates his friend Glen Anderson for completing the 50 States Marathon challenge for the 11th time in Montana on August 1, 2026. The Yellowstone Trail Marathon, featuring a challenging 6,600 ft elevation on ski trails, was a unique experience. Glen’s wife, Karen, participated, marking Montana as her 49th state in her eighth round. Ulama also completed his fifth round with Montana as state 38. The event required competitors to carry bear spray due to wildlife. The day ended with the three enjoying their first rodeo together, celebrating a memorable experience.
