Discussion: 50-miler

The timing probably isn't right (March of 2014?) but the Old Pueblo 50-Miler is almost guaranteed to have fabulous running weather. And it is definitely guaranteed to have stunning scenery and good aid stations.

Yeah, and at some point in the not too distant future I'll have my winters free. :-)

Nah, that's for sissies. Try this one instead--practically in your back yard.

that looks like fun.

Yeah, for a 50-year-old. I think it's a bit much for me. I'm guessing that to enjoy it you need to be able to run Escarpment in under 4 hours, preferably under 3.5, really preferably in about 3, and certainly not the 5 or more it would take me now.

What else you got, Fred?

Have you ever run Lidingoloppet? End of Sept, Stockholm.

I think these are two most intresting ones around here:

There's always the Sugarloaf Solo, like the Dover Raid, but with more woods (presumably)

Or if you want a fairly local trail marathon
