I was amazed that this race was organized so well given the small number of volunteers involved. I picked up my bib number and t shirt the afternoon before the race, and the race director was out on the course marking the trail. He also mowed a path for us along the route, and was the main time-keeper throughout the 24 hours of this race. I thought he bent over backwards accommodating the runners. There wasn’t a huge variety of food at the aid station, but it was sufficient for a 24 hour run. About half the course was shaded in a riparian zone along Clear Creek, and the other half was along the edge of an old hay field. It got hot at times along the upper part of the loop, but was perceptibly cooler in the shade closer to the creek. The course was a 2-mile loop, so we were able to replenish at the aid station at regular intervals. One nice touch was that chairs were provided for those who wanted to take a break at the end of a loop. I enjoy these small events because you get to know the people so much better than at larger events.
