• Comments: This is a fabulous race with a lot of great history. The race staff and volunteers are fantastic and so passionate. It was truly a wonderful and memorable experience. It was amazing to see the number of local people who participate in this race and only this race. Not to mention the great military tradition that is carried on and how the military runners are celebrated. However the race is in danger because of a bureaucrat who is in charge of granting AT permits. She refused 500 and those people were shut out. By 2013, she has told the race committee they are off the trail. This would be a tragedy to the race. However, congressional legislation has been introduced to give the decision to another group.
