Hi all,
I am looking for suggestions for a 50-miler (my first) some time between late May and late June. I had hoped to run Elk Lake but I don't think that I will have enough long runs to be ready for the 50 miles by then. I do think that I'll probably run the 50k, though. I would like the run to be driving distance (loosely defined) from Kamloops.
I have found two possibilities so far - Blackfoot Ultra in Edmonton and the North Face race in Bellingham. Does anyone have any experience of these races? What are the trails like? How difficult are the races? Which would you choose and why? The only trail ultra that I have done is KneeKnacker - 50 miles of that terrain would almost surely be too much
.
.Any suggestions of other 50 milers to consider in that time frame?
Thanks
Sean.
