Here are a couple of links to interesting news articles on extreme ultramarathoning:
Here is a good article on Dean Karnazes and his effort to run 300 miles non-stop.
And here is an astounding article on the famed "Marathon Monks" who run 24,800 miles over seven years as a path to enlightenment. And they don't wear Nikes or Montrails and they don't have Gatorade or electrolyte caplets.
Amazing!
