My understanding is that anything over the 42.195K marathon distance is considered an ultramarathon.

Water crossings (a la Seaton Trail): Whats the deal with these? Is it difficult to continue running with saturated runners (and socks) on? - I have a pair of gore-tex endowed mizunos.
How deep is the water generally?
Any advice on how best to deal with it?
Thanks

Its a whole new world for me. I am ultimately stuck with the trail runners that I have, but I worry a little about drainage and maybe overheating in the particular type I have (Mizuno Arashi... i think thats what theyre called).
