Marshall Ulrich
“Initially, I wanted to show people that they can do more than they think they can.”
That philsophy has taken former local resident Marshall Ulrich to every continent on the globe, and next week it will take him into the Colorado Running Hall of Fame.
Road racing great Doug Bell and ultrarunner Marshall Ulrich will be inducted into the Colorado Running Hall of Fame on April 10 at the Denver Athletic Club.
Also in the 2013 induction class are marathoner Jane Welzel, mountain runner Jay Johnson, Romanian marathoner Lidia Simon and Nancy Hobbs, who has worked tirelessly to promote trail running.
