A look how a back of the pack runner (At age 61) survived the 2024 Lake Sonoma 50-mile ultra race.

Спорт

The Lake Sonoma 50-mile race has over 10,000' of vertical gain, but it's fun! This was my first ultra race of this distance in almost three years. This video will give you a taste of what I had gone through.

    Hi Craig - great meeting you on the course as well. I was the runner that finished a few minutes after you, and we had the opportunity to sit next to each other at the finish line and chat for a few minutes. Love the video and KZread channel. Keep posting... and running!

    Congrats on finishing strong in the race! Awesome job. Wow - wet & mud for tons of fun, haha. I used to do field work in that area years ago, would fly out from Denver for week or two week long work trips. Enjoyed hiking some of those trails on my days off. Really enjoyed the video, thanks!

    hi, my name is Neil and you quickly recorded me on the run video clip 20:49. I passed you on the way out. I was bib number 95. I finished the 50 miler at 12:44:53. I just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS! It was a tough run with all the mud and rain! WE DID IT!

    That was some soupy conditions. Great job on persevering. Between DNS and DNF about half the field didn’t make it, that is pretty incredible.

    Alright! You did it! That lloked like a really solid run. We signed up for Race the Wolf. If it's something you want to do, we have a guest bedroom so lodging is free at least. Hey you'll have an altitude advantage on the steep climbs coming from the Springs.

    Thank you! and thanks for the offer, that race looks fun, but I have way too many trips this year to fit in another race out of state. Right now, I need to focus on getting in some good vert. and miles for UTMB's CCC (Aug. 30th). Have fun at Race the Wolf!
