Run like a Lunatic!


So Cal ULTRA LUNATICS (SCULs)

Who We Are:  So Cal Ultra Lunatics is an RRCA Running Club composed of like-minded runners and walkers who support their local running clubs, local races and local running stores.  We are Lunatics because we don’t necessarily look, act or think like typical runners.

What makes us different is that we are a little bit eccentric.  Anyone can be a lunatic.  You don’t have to be crazy, but sometimes it helps a little bit.  It doesn’t cost anything to belong, but running may become contagious.  Roads, trails, bike paths, tracks, mountains, beaches, deserts, parks, or just about anywhere you can walk or hike, you will find a lunatic running there – day or night.

We also organize local low-key races in the So Cal Region and support fellow race directors as volunteers.  Our events are small ( usually  under 100 runners ), with finishers medals for all participants and buckles for 100 mile finishers.  We have a well-stocked aid station(s) and often use convenient loop courses which start and end near parking, restrooms and amenities.  We don’t have mega sponsors or beer tents at our family-friendly events.  We prefer the old-school approach to running.  Keep it simple, keep it safe, keep it friendly and keep the costs down.

Any typos or errors on this page are strictly my fault.  I am a lunatic, so sometimes I put them there on purpose to see if anyone notices.  After running over 52 marathons and ultras in 52 weeks, not to mention over 28 half marathons in the same timeframe, I have earned the privilege of being eccentric.
