Why you dream of this race

THE DREAM

ABOUT THE RACE

A day you'll remember,
long past the finish line.

Climb through the high-elevation forest twice, followed by a long descent.

The shaded, steep sections feature tree roots, rocks, and tire ruts.

Higher meadow sections are gently rolling dirt-and-grass trails with no shade.

Scott DawsonRan in 2017 · Finish time 4:44:51

“I was mentally beat up, but I knew I had to continue.”

At Green Lakes 50km, two overly fast opening laps made the second half difficult. The runner endured calf discomfort and fatigue on the final lap to set their own 50km best.
