"This is the ultramarathon for all! There is a mix of elites and beginners at this race. One of the most popular races in the area (last year it filled in 9 minutes), is now open via lottery system. I was fortunate to gain one the 575 coveted spots this year. Mostly single track, with beautiful scenery. There is a section along the course where the last 100 will meet the race leaders. Everyone out there is beyond friendly and courteous. The volunteers as awesome. The aid stations are fully equipped - from Gu to pretzels, soup, quesadillas, brownies and plenty of other ultra foods. If you are training on the course on the weeks leading up to the race, you will come across many newts. Thank goodness for the "Newt Patrol" - they run the course the morning of the race and move the newts to safety!
Way Too Cool 50k is a race worth running for sure! "
