    The course is totally flat on a crushed gravel path. There is a hill that you have that you have to go up and down twice during the course, but it isn’t bad. It can get a little boring especially at night. Good if you have a pacer to keep you company. After mega hours on your feet and a train blows its whistle in the wee hours of the morning, better than coffee 😉
    There are bikers and walkers sharing the path and sometimes the bikers can sneak up on you. Aid stations were perfect with the full ultra menu and not far apart. I wasn’t crewed, it was my first hundo and I’ll admit I walked a good portion of it.

    Run, walk, hop, skip or crawl, whatever it takes I say... congrats on your first hundo finish, Doc! What an experience I'm sure, and that must have taken some serious resolve to keep yourself going through the dark times, literally and figuratively. Nicely done, and hope to hear about some of your other racing adventures here on the site! LESS
