I think Park pretty much has dropped out of ultra-marathoning.  I used to
direct a local 50 miler which he often ran.  I think the last one he ran was
about four years ago (I could check my records if you are strongly curious).
I understand that he always runs the Harrisburg Marathon so that he can keep
his record of running every one intact.  In the early 80s, I believe, the NY
50 miler was on Saturday, and the Harrisburg Marathon the next day, and Park
would run both.  I remember one year, when I ended up running in the low
2:50s, about 5 miles into the race Park just floated by me.  He was marvelous
to watch.  I was humbled by the thought of his running a 50 miler the previous
day.
