Oriflamme 50K

The volunteers are top-notch and the views are unbeatable in this race. Some parts of the course are extremely rocky, technical and steep—I didn’t have trekking poles but they would come in handy for this race. Be forewarned—I have run 50-milers that are not as hard as this 50k that packs a punch! Race logistics were simple and smooth. Race swag this year was a fitted high quality long-sleeve shirt, a cool medal with “stained glass” detail, and a mini flashlight with race logo—liked them all. Train hard on hills for this one and be prepared for the sneaky, tough 5-mile section on sand! If you are lucky, you may spot desert blooms. Highly recommend for a challenging race that showcases the beauty of the trails in this area.

If you are coming to SoCal for a destination trail race, the Cuyamaca 100k is it. It was my first “mountainous” 100k and I definitely got my money’s worth in terms of difficulty. The field is top-notch, and the aid stations were like buffets, complete with experienced runners to help you out, mini pickle juice shots and themed costumes. The high winds at night in the desert and coyote sightings were a part of the experience, and only add to the allure of this race. The climbs up Mount Cuyamaca and during the second loop were killer. To finish is a big achievement, since mentally you have to be strong to not drop out at the beginning of each loop (the course is like a 3-petal Flower, with base camp in the middle). The swag was awesome—badass medal with a snake on it, a short sleeve shirt and zip hoodie, and a post-race burrito. I finished near the back of the pack so I can only speak from that experience, but I would highly recommend a night pacer if you are new to this race. Well done to the race organizers and would recommend to any trail runner seeking a challenge.
