The project is being produced by Athlete On Fire, LLC. It is a health, fitness, and performance website and podcast with interviews and resources from the most amazing athletes on the planet.

The best way to get acquainted with the brand and mission is to check out our Start Here (link) page. Read through and be sure to email us at contact @ becomingultra.com to learn more.

Why partner with Becoming Ultra?

Ultra running is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing segments in running events. In fact, the number of ultramarathon races has tripled in the last decade.

As runners discover the world of running past marathon distance they will be seeking out additional resources and inspiration for their new found sport.

While current films and documentaries and shows out there focus on the elites, our project is based around our target audience, everyday runners who want to take the next step.

We believe we can be the bridge to these epic accomplishments with the right amount of inspiration and education. We need partners that believe in this ideal.
