Trail Runner Magazine has an article that documents Ed’s record shattering run in 2000, linked below:

With extensive research I still cannot find the exact start and end dates for Ed’s run, therefore I have put July 1st as a placeholder. Know that this is likely not the correct start date. Almost all mentions of his run are in articles talking about Ted Keizer’s run that broke Ed’s record. However, the widespread mention of his record by Keizer and others is good proof of its authenticity. If anyone has access to a trip report or more details, please feel free to post below.
