May/June 50 miler?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1526 of 1537 |
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 Smile emoticon.
 
Any suggestions of other 50 milers to consider in that time frame?
 
Thanks
 
Sean.

Hi Sean - If you're in Kamloops, your best bet for location and timing will be the new 50-mile option at the Scorched Sole in Kelowna on Jun 6. ...
