I just love this event. Playing in the mud on the trails, racing through the woods. Great soups and stews afterward. I'm thinking about the full 50k again next year.

Nice job! 

Nothing best the Barney Rubble running in place, in the mud, dance.  Always a good time.

Great job!  This was my first go at the HUFF (1 loop).  I would have liked to have been able to take in the scenery a little more, but the mud was so deep, I spent most of the time looking at the ground!  Awesome temperature though!
