Comments: Keep in mind that this race is not going to attract a lot of volunteers and there are very few places they can put in aide stations. If you are one to want an aide station every mile then find another race but to me this is what trail running is all about. It is tough but it is fair. It treats everyone the same!! You will be muddy, bruised, and wet but you will experience a great race atmosphere. Very quite and easy to get off course. You may find yourself running alone for a while at times. I definitely recommend this race to any trail runners and any ultra people looking for a bigger challenge....well here you go. I was glad I did not have to turn around and go back!!! The gear you get is awesome as well. We got a long sleeve dri fit shirt, a water bottle, and a piece of pottery for finishing. Also, REI has taken this race over as the number one sponsor and from what I heard when I stopped by the night before for packet pickup; if you sign up for the pasta dinner REI gives away plenty
