Hey! I'm Icebeard Runner. I travel the U.S. and run in some cool places, so I'm capturing them here on this channel. Add a comment with suggestions of types of videos to make and places to run. See you on the trails.
This was helpful, thank you! I am one of those flying in for this race. Of the loop, how much would you say is very rooted? Like parts that you showed of Dogwood had a good number of roots (not like Hurt 100 or anything but certainly you need to pay attention and hop around so you don't face plant!). I'm thinking about shoes and which to go with. In your video, those roots seem to be the only bit that looks kinda technical. For reference I'm used to rocky trails vs rooted (southern california - our mountains are sandy, rutted, and/or rocky. Both loose and immovable 😂)

I would not say the trail really technical at all. It just has just the right amount of roots to keep you honest. Just pointing that out because a lot of people assume that it is a flat track course which its not.

Congrats. Nice run. I’ve tried the last two years but only made it to 80 miles each year.

Congrats! I think we finished 2nd lap together!!! (I was the guy with raccoon / fox ears)

How could I forget! Great run Simon. I'm glad to see you were able to bounce back, if I remember correctly your gut was giving you trouble at that time. Watching your video it looked like you had quite the rally to a strong finish!

Thanks for filming your race! I was right in front of you at the start of the race and finished about 45 minutes behind you. My right foot/ankle looked like yours after the race, too, haha. Hope you've recovered!

Congratulations on your finish. I've learned that these things are never guaranteed. I also found that swollen ankles recover best with beer. Cheers and thanks for the view!

Even with the roots, it's an excellent course and with aid stations you have to see to believe. It's a shame that area will have received so much rain in this last week before the race.

Excellent video- super valuable/timely. I’ll be there to run the RR this weekend, this literally couldn’t be any more relevant or useful to me. Thanks for making it.

I've ran the 50m (2021) and am coming back for 100. Good reminders! Not much has changed at all. The roots were mostly in sections for sure.. I didn't remember them being a problem for the 50, but I think a few ppl said something. If you run any kind of technical trails in training, this should be a breeze. Great Event!

So true! The roots will probably bite me when fatigue settles in late night. I'm good for at least one header. See you on the course.

Thanks for making this. Very helpful. I am flying in from Columbus, Ohio for the 100 miler next week and havn't seen the course until your video. I guess I can expect some roots : ) Thanks!
