Needles 50k captured the essence of ultrarunning. I felt the beauty of the natural world coincide with the rawness of human nature. As much as I avoid the word ‘should,’ the Needles 50k event was a reminder of what trail and ultrarunning should be.

What makes this run so cool is the start/finish/one-and-only aid station is all rolled into one pop-up tent accompanied by an RV. And it sits right behind Julian Station which is a gigantic barn that houses Julian Hard Cider tasting room, a Mead tasting room, Beer tasting room, and a Mexican restaurant. With a fun group of runners who you see and converse with throughout the loops, then throw in the alcohol being so close, this run is potentially a party waiting to happen.
