This was a really awesome and well put together race. For any of you that have done Way Too Cool, it uses a bit of the back part of that course, but there is also some new trails that were just opened up. It starts (and finishes) at the Quarry Trail on Hwy 49. Goes up this trail until you get on the Wendell T Robie trail. There were four aid stations and all stocked full of everything you’d need. The volunteers were really awesome too. The aid stations were:
Brown’s Bar 3.1 miles
Green Gate 7.8 miles
Green Gate 16 miles
ALT 21 miles
Goat Hill 26.5 miles
I finished just a bit over 32 miles and just a tad under 5,000′ of gain.
This was the first Dead Truck race, so there weren’t too many participants, but I imagine it will get bigger next year.
Overall a very awesome race, course, and people. SS Mountain Racing did a great job with this, and I will absolutely be doing this race again.
Inaugural Dead Truck 50k = awesome!
