Sadly, we will not be hosting the Clawhammer Mountain 50k or the Front Range Five this year. Thanks to everyone that participated in last year’s event!
If you need another idea and want to see even more of the beautiful Pisgah National Forest this fall, check out Tanawha Adventures’ Looking Glass 100k. What a stellar route!!

The Front Range Five+ Miler was a screaming fast (foot) ride on some of the most classic and accessible Pisgah National Forest trails.
These ladies and gents (among all the other participants) climbed over 1000' over the course of 5.75 miles.
Many first time trail runners signed up and seeing their joy in completing the event will be something to remember.
Exciting racing had both the men's #2 and women's #2 grab the KOM/QOM cash at the top of the first climb on Grassy Road trail. Shortly after, positions changed and Aaron and ECal took the W (aka giant butternut). 😊
Thanks to all participants and volunteers!

Time to start to process all the badassery that occurred on Saturday and Sundays events. Results for both races are up at Ultrasignup.com.
Much more to come but for now, here are just a few snapshots. More good stuff in the way.
Really amazing turnout for a first time event and my debut at race directing including a few pretty big names in the sport. The locals ran hard too and the female podium was stacked with NC natives!
Thanks to everyone involved to make a stellar event.

So exciting!
Aid one has reported that Anton (yes that Anton 😊, and locals Sheridan Byers, and Randy Elliott are in the lead!
Will try for more updates and to get deets on the ladies race.

Best of luck to all racers this morning! If you're not running the race, the next best place to be is at getting your fill of some delicious breakfast foods.

Then you definitely should get out in the woods and see sights like these (hey, why not go cheer on some runners while you're at it!)

Thankful to have Morning Social as sponsors for our weekend of events - several lucky souls will be treated to a really nice breakfast!

You'll find the most delicious gourmet snacks to refill those depleted calories and take home some natural supplements for a good recovery.
