He recently crossed Death Valley for the 30th time on foot in February when he set out to raise money in honor of his friend and teammate, Mark Macy. Macy is a long-time friend and recently competed on Amazon's World's Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji with his son, Travis. Ulrich's team, The Stray Dogs also competed alongside the Macy's during the adventure race. Eco-Challenge Team Stray Dogs originally included both Ulrich and Macy until Macy was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2018.
