He had run the equivalent of three marathons, navigating narrow, rugged trails through Colorado's Rocky Mountains for the whole of a day and into the night. Now Steve Peterson had 20 miles left to finish the 2001 Leadville Trail 100, and two runners to catch. Peterson had been tuned and tweaked to succeed at Leadville, his mind and body conditioned by an intensive regimen that began in '91, when Divine Madness embraced ultrarunning as a vehicle for attaining enlightenment. Remarkably, as he approached the aid station at the 86.5-mile mark, Peterson appeared not spent but rather reenergized. While Peterson would cross the finish line in a personal-best 17 hours, 40 minutes and 53 seconds, his fifth victory at Leadville in six years, a battered and exhausted Chad Ricklefs did not even finish the race. If not for its running prowess, Divine Madness would merely be one of the many eccentric sects or communities marching to its own syncopated beat on society's margins. The man behind Divine Madness is a charismatic figure with a wispy beard and a slender body. Marc Tizer is a self-taught running coach and self-styled philosopher who grew up in Philadelphia and came to Boulder from Chicago, where, in the late 1960s, he was a political activist. These days, he keeps track of his charges by phone and e-mail and frequent visits to Boulder (Colo.), and while he still travels to Leadville and the Western States to coach Peterson and the others, his grip has loosened, say several Divine Madness alumni who still communicate with the group.
