Ben Nephew Wins North Face Challenge & Aliza Lapierre Wins Iroquois 50 mile OA Title

We had 2 stellar ultra running performances this past weekend. Starting with Ben Nephew who bested some very tough competition to win the North Face Endurance Challenge by mere seconds (6:27:14). I'm sure Ben's upcoming race report will give us the exciting details but it looked like a dogfight to the finish against ultra studs Leigh Schmitt and Michael Wardian over the 50 mile course. An awesome performance!

At the Iroquois 50 mile in upstate New York, Aliza Lapierre won the overall title in 8:29. Aliza won the title on a tough, technical and hilly course. Great job as well!
