... worked very well in the dark. 99% of trails were marked very well for running in the dark as far as I was concerned. At every turn all I had to do is turn head in direction of sign and except for one turn it was almost impossible not to see next reflective tape. There was only one turn where I looked to my left and I did not see reflective tape in the sight to confirm that it is the direction I need to run. I hesitated a bit there but since there was only one trail going to my left I continued and located next streamer shortly after.

I still think that marking 25 mile course in Burchard park was piece of art by itself. I was concerned but I liked it at the end. One of the issues during ultras for runners is it can get lonely but with all the crazy loops in Burchard park it was kind of fun even my fun lasted just one lap.
