My First 50

This is My First 50. There is an option for a 50k or 50 mile distance. Overall awards will not be given, but all will receive a finisher medal and cool item! You CAN enter if you have run these distances before. This race will be new ultra runner friendly and the race director is available to get you info and answer questions leading up to the race. The course is challenging but doable! This is a small race and will not exceed 100 runners. All racers will get a finisher award, T-shirt, premium aid station fare and finish line goodies. Time limit for the 50 mile is 15 hours (18 min mile pace), there is no time limit for the 50k. The race start is 7:30 am and the course will be closed at 10:30pm. Sunset is around 6:30pm, sunrise 7:15. 

The course is a loop. Is this an easy trail? NO! Is this an easier trail than running in the mountains? YES! The loop is a little over 10 miles, so there will be 3 loops for the 50k and 5 loops for the 50 mile. Seven miles of the loop will be single track mountain bike trail, 2 miles paved and a bit of doubletrack. Course is technical and scenic, lights will be required in the morning for the first loop and in the evening for the 50 mile runners. More details and a course map as we get closer, but I would guess elevation is about 700 ft per loop, rolling with with switchbacks. 2000ft total in the 50k and about 3500 in the 50 miler. There will be 3 aid station per loop- 3.5 miles, 4.8 miles and 8.5 miles into the loops.
