I’ve run quite a few fixed time ultras all over the country this year, and this one was as well organized as any that I’ve done, and quite the bargain too. Even though the entry was by volunteer donation, the aid station and amenities were as good as any. It was apparent that the race director and volunteers were familiar with ultras and had a lot of experience, as they didn’t skimp on anything. The course was relatively flat, with just enough undulations to give your muscles some rest on the downhills without having to negotiate any steep uphills. It was also wide enough so that two people could run side by side with still room for faster runners to pass. Laps were counted with chip timing, which is surprising given that the entry was just by free will donation. This was kind of an old school event, which was kind of relaxing without music blaring at all hours of the day. I hope this race continues well into the future, as it appears to have a fairly loyal following.
