El Scorcho Ultramarathon – For You Insomniac Runners
By David Hanenburg on 07 Aug 2009 at 9:20 am | Tagged as: trail running or ultrarunning
El Scorcho Ultramarathon start time: 12:00………………………….midnight!
This is just one of the crazy things we do down here in Texas to get in a race during the middle of July.
Your choice: 25km or 50km
By looking at the video from this year’s event, there is still plenty of sweating going on and it appears we have a large number of insomniacs in this region.

A new division for next year – Pajama? What do you think?
Have a great weekend.
Be active – Feel the buzz!

I ran El Scorcho last year – it’s very well organized, and Ryan does a great job putting it together.
Cool site, and thanks for visiting my blog.
Dave, you and me should run that race next year.
Mark – Good to hear it is put together well. The number of runners wanting to run at midnight seems to support your opinion.
Porta-pot – I always seem to find a way to keep you in the ultra scene.
Now only if I could figure out a way to strengthen your ankles.
