For those of you keeping track, this is a 1 hour 15 minute+ time improvement over Ed’s time last year, and also his best 50k time to date. Well done!

This was a tough one. It was my best trail ultra time by over three quarters of an hour, and I probably would have placed significantly higher if this race wasn’t totally stacked with ultra-running superstars like Erik Skaggs, Hal Koerner and Gary Robbins. So yeah, my final placing - a glorious 146th. Speaking of superstars, PRR hall-of-famer Ellie Greenwood came in first in her age category but missed the overall women’s top place by a mere 13 seconds. Hopefully, this will keep her humble…

David was suffering through a man-cold during this race, so that makes his time all the more impressive.

Even with these stellar times, we sadly did not win the Group Challenge this year, as the Runner’s Den beat us by one point. ONE POINT! It should be said that we only had 16 runners to their 35, so we did much better in terms of placing; they just had a lot more people. Next year!
