This may be premature but...trail 50K? (Read 63 times)

muppy


    Somthing else that might be of some help.Ultra Running magazine has lots of race reports and results, where they  give a 1-5 score for trail conditions and 1-5 for vertical gain.

      Most sources are missing so many races

       

      Where is the Chilly Chippewa 50k, John Dick Crusty 50k, Keyes Peak 50k, T-Bunk Endurance CHalleneg (50k, 50M, 100M, 150M, 200M), the 6 hour race in Green Bay, The 8 hour trail race in Hartford WI, the 6 hour race at Goose Island (La Crosse), the Glacial Trail 50k/50M, The Frozen otter 100k

       

      So the above source has 6 races and I count at least 9 races missing ... maybe more?

       

      Dances With Dirt Devill's Lake 50k/50M

      The big 4-0 Eau Claire

      Ice Box 480 (8 hour) River Falls)

      NorthFace 50k/50M

       

      So I count 19 total ultras in WI and

       

      http://www.ultrarunning.com/calendar.html

       

      This source picked up 13 of them - with the terrain / elevation (1-5) so better than the 1st one I looked at

      Long dead ... But my stench lingers !

       

       

        Another vote for Dirty German 50k. It was my first ultra this past May and it was a great race. Good first trail 50k, as the park is not too technical or hilly, so it will ease you in.

         

        Another source you should consider:

         

        www.traildawgs.org

         

        They are based in Delaware and put on some amazing races. The Delaware Triple Crown and Trail Marathon (while not ultras) are awesome races to consider for the spring.
