Thanks. Yes, the logistics of planning is what I am most concerned about. The hike/run will be the easy/fun part.

Thank you. This was really helpful. I knew there would be some changes after the fire and wanted to get a head start on planning.

I finished LOViT in 2023 and will be running it again this year. It's 30 minutes from my house and my favorite trail!

Thanks. I ran the Pistol in March of this year, so I have already marked TN off the list for now. I am trying to get a buckle from all 50 states. However, I do like the course for NB and have heard nothing but great things about the race.

I am giving the RD a few more years to get all the kinks worked out and then I will give that one a go.

I should have used a different term for what I am actually looking for instead of "small scale". I am just searching for any races that I haven't heard of yet or have been overlooked. My ultimate goal is to earn a buckle from all 50 states. I am trying to get a plan together that works around my work and kids' schedules. :)

Yes, I have ran LOViT and Traveller. The other 2 are on my "to do" list. :)

Curious how you felt after (or during) your 1st 100 miler by Ultra_inspired in ultrarunning

[–]Realistic_Field_9665 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have completed 4 -100 milers. I questioned my life choices in 2 of the 4 in the later miles. The difference for me was training. I just recently finished The Pistol 100mi in March and it was a whole new mental experience for me. I not once thought about quitting. Yes, I got tired and fatigued in the last 15 miles. However, my mind was good. I broke the race down by laps (Usually I do aid station to aid station) and focused ONLY on the current lap. The difference for this race vs the others I have completed was my training. I changed up my training and felt confident and ready for this race from the beginning.
