This was my second 50 miler and I set a new PR, by four and a third hours! Great course, there are some inclines and declines, but since this is a rails-to-trail course they are slight, but they can go on for miles. Just be aware. 5-7k of altitude affects you be aware of that as well. Small race, I met the RD and his entire family. He was very accommodating of an issue I had arriving on time due to flights so I was able to start late. The food was fantastic on course (blueberry pancakes and bacon at mile 25). The volunteers all energetic and enthusiastic. The course is great for first-timers. I cannot recommend this race enough. I think I'm coming back next year for the 100. New favorite race.
