Stephen WintonRan in 2024 · Finish time 06:47:00

“It got hot, so the last 2 aid stations I put ice in my buff.”

Stephen used the 2024 Trailway 50 km to prepare for a 100-mile race, switching to power-hiking after the first half. Cooling off with ice in his buff as the heat rose, he finished in 6:47, placing 19th among 34 runners.

Stephen WintonRan in 2023 · Finish time 07:38:00

“I was really happy with this race.”

Stephen mostly ran the first lap of the 2023 Trailway 50 km, then power-hiked the second to manage the heat. With ice in his pack, he kept moving to finish in 7:38, building confidence for his next 100-mile race.
