Paul Mastin

“Alas, when the aid station came in sight, they were packing up, and informed me that I had missed the cutoff by 5 minutes.”

At Rockledge Rumble 50km, the runner started steadily but faded into a run-walk pattern. They missed the final aid station's time limit by 5 minutes and did not finish, yet valued the time on lakeside trails.

“Even the pain in my back and ankles had subsided.”

At Rockledge Rumble 50km, the runner mostly walked rocky lakeside trails and steep hills. Late fuel restored their strength, allowing them to pass three runners and finish in 7 hours 21 minutes 48 seconds.

The 50K starts at 7:00 a.m., the 30K at 7:30 a.m., and the 15K at 8:00 a.m. from the North Shore Trail along Grapevine Lake.

Course combines smooth dirt trails with rocky, technical sections, and just before the finish,
