Congratulations to all our runners and hikers and all our incredible volunteers! It was a special weekend with some extra curveballs thrown our way, when on Friday morning when our course was already completely marked and after hours of trail work done on the 33 mi perimeter loop, the park had no choice but to release the dam due to high water levels and heavy rainfall Thursday night. It raised the river levels to 5 feet at several creek crossings and caused us to implement last minute reroutes. We greatly appreciate your support!
Our race is one of the events featured in this week’s article on iRunFar.com:
