This is my second time running this one. Last year I did the 12 hour option and this year opted for the 24 hour.
I didn’t do as well as expected, stopping at 50 miles but that is my fault.
A new team ran it this year and did great. The food spread was top notch, the music was loud, and the team was very friendly and motivating. They are active ultras runners too.
The course itself is moderately difficult. In my 50 miles I saw around 4500 feet in elevation gain. Some rocks and roots were present, enough to make the feet get a little beat up but no major issues.
All in all not a bad course. I live nearby so will probably be doing it again. Oh, the food spread deserves mentioning. It was great!

This race was a great experience!
The scenery was gorgeous with most of the trail in forest with mature growth. Luckily the effects of Hurricane Ian missed us, so the conditions remained dry.
The race volunteers and RD were cool and laid back. Too bad this is the last year of this ultra (unless another RD steps up).
I was shooting for 50 miles but am happy with how I did considering the elevation. I gained over 4200 feet which was a lot for me.
Race swag including a cool medal. Food was great with typical fair, freshly grilled hot dogs and pizza included.
I met some really cool ultra runners!!
