You are one of those awesome, hard core trail runners that I am in awe of!! I want to run a 50k next year, which Utah one would you recommend?
Welcome to the blog! Best of luck with your 2010 goals!!

Welcome to the blog. I take it you're a friend of Davy Crockett?

Kelli - Thanks for the welcome. There are some great 50k's in Utah. If you are ambitious enough to train a lot in the winter there is the Moab Red Hot 50k in February, great course. There is the Buffalo Run 50k on Antelope Island in March. If you are transitioning from roads to trails this one would be good. The Logan Peak Trail run in June is 28 miles, not a full 50k but close. I have not done the Logan Peak Trail Run but heard the course is spectacular. I may do that one next year. If you want a really mountainous course with tons of vertical then do the Speedgoat 50k in July at Snowbird. Very tough course but I like it. My picture for this blog is taken on the Speedgoat 50k course. If you don't mind driving to Star Valley you could run the El Vaquero Loco 50k in August. Awesome mostly single track course.
Burt - Yes I do know Davy Crockett. In fact reading his blog is what gave me the idea to try this blog out.

WOW---I had no idea there were so many!! I have a friend from my running group doing the Moab one, so I am thinking about that. I am FINALLY running the Boston marathon in April, so I have to plan a little around that (wanted to do the Red Mountain 50k but it is in April, I even signed up for it last year then the canceled it due to the economy). I am not much of a mountain goat and I have very little experience on trails, that worries me the most!
Thanks for the ideas!
