  • Comments: The post race area had some tents with bagles, bananas and oranges, but nothing else. It was supplied more like a 5k, then a marathon. It would have been nice to have more of a party atmosphere with some live bands and real food, but all in all, it was still nice. The actual run was beautiful. The Mickelson trail runs through some of the most scenic areas of the black hills. The views were stunning and it made for a very enjoyable run. It was probably the best 4 hours I have ever spent killing myself. Water stops were very frequent and never left me wanting. At every stop and every road crossing, there were ample people just waiting and cheering on the runners. It was quite encouraging to see a bunch of people going out of their way at mile 23 to cheer us on.
