Promise Land 50K+

A race very ultrarunner should run at least once is the Promise Land 50K+. It is a course that has over 8,000 feet of climb in 33+ miles, on horse trails, old fire roads, and single track, and has got to be the most beautiful 50K on the east coast, if not in the country. Past top-five finishers for men and women have included inov-8's JB Basham (a past winner), inov-8's Anne Lundblad (who still holds the women's CR), Krissy Moehl, Hal Koerner, Scott Jurek, Clark Zealand (who still owns men's CR), Annette Bednosky, Jen Shelton, and inov-8's Sean Andrish (another past winner). In other words, many of the big dogs have run well there and you should too---it was just me and JB this year and it would be awesome to get more Team inov-8 representation next spring!

I wore my trusty inov-8 Roclite 268s and once again they performed like champs. It was a slick course this year but they were awesome on the tricky, wet, rocky sections as well as the muddy horse trails.

My race report on my blog is here. Happy Trails!
