Some Runner Comments

"This was my first ultra and I absolutely loved it. The organization of the race was fantastic and the friendliness and efficiency of the aid stations really made a difference.  Stunning views, a good but doable challenge, well organized, great aid stations, great after race chicken soup!"  -- Christina Friedman, 15th in 50 Mile

"Great course, hospitality, camaraderie... my favorite marathon course - fun hills and scenery.  Good for the family - most they've ever been able to see me on a race course, and they enjoyed cheering for all of the runners."  -- Chris Bord, 11th in 50K
