Not seeing this on any event calender. Are you sure this thing is still happening?

I just want to add my thanks to all the volunteers, aid station crews, the guy with the cowbell at the East Fork junction (gotta have more cowbell), and to all the other runners who were so quick to share words of encouragement during the later, more challenging parts of the course. This was my first ultra (graduating from those “cute” marathons) and I feel so privileged to have been able to run it in my backyard. Thank you, Jared and Ryan for another awesome event. See you next year!

Thank you for a great, well organized race and a beautiful course. While I had my internal battles on the course, I was never lost and always had what I needed at the aid stations. It was a great intro to ultrarunning – I’m already hungry for another. Maybe Speedgoat would be fun?

No question about it. This race would be next to impossible without the support provided by Pocatello families like the Shavers, Spurlocks and numerous others. They really deserve more recognition than they get for this event.

A special THANK YOU needs to go out to the friends and family of Shaver Pharmacy for their generous donation of time and money. Their behind-the-scene efforts helped support a truly remarkable event that had a positive impact on so many lives.

What a brutally great race. I have never been so challenged on a trail run. I will definitely do this race again. Thanks to the directors and all the great volunteers.

Thanks, Pat. I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes for sure. I feel lucky to have survived the first 17 miles of last year’s race. This year – bring it on! Spring in Idaho – it’s part of what makes this race a unique challenge.

What I meant by that statement is. Last year they had to make a hard choice to call the run halfway through, and I didn’t get to run. I was totally disappointed. This year they had to change the last leg of the course, I know that it was for our safety, but it’s still kind of a let down. They have to make the tough calls, I’m sure they don’t want to change things, and I wanted to thank them.

By the way… There is still plenty snow on the mountain (12 miles = 3 hours)
