The World Masters Mountain Running Championships that just concluded in Madeira, Portugal were my first World Championship event. It was great! I’ve always heard that when runners attend these official team events, they are delighted with the camaraderie as much as with the top competition. This was true: it was special to be on our Age Group team and on Team USA. I hope more US runners participate in official Championship events in the future.
