I picked this race to try to reach a 50K because the time limit is 12 hours! This is a looped course of 5.25 miles, so the idea is to do as many/little laps as you want within 12 hours. The scenery is gorgeous at Valley Falls and the weather was perfect! The first 1 or so was relatively flat. Then we run along the deer trails, so of course it got steep and difficult. The second half of the course was gradually downhill.
The aid station had FOOD!!!!! Bacon, pancakes, fruit, pizza, quesadillas, and candy! I definitely want to do another trail race because I don’t get this fancy treatment for road races.
