Poles are allowed and can be quite useful for certain sections of the course.

Are trekking poles allowed/recommended? i use them sometimes where i train here in the mountains of Idyllwild, CA.

So, I can see Scout Mt out the window of my work. She looks back at me. Some days she whispers sweet nothings and beckons me. Some days we joke about the coming ebb and flow of energy and emotions. She laughs when I remind her that I’ve xc-skiied her more than ran her trails. The other day she taunted me cruelly, reminding me that I only have one long run in my legs at this point, and that was flat at (almost) sea level in Boise. Somehow she knows my most inner thoughts. This race is going to be interesting.

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.
