Inspiration Point
Check out some of the wisest finishers. I hope this stuff fires you up as much as it does me.
- Charles Mabry (MO – age 68) and Maurice Robinson (AR – age 70) inspired in the 20 km.
Life is play. Play is life.
The Tough-as-Nails Award
The final finishers of an ultra distance event are some of the toughest athletes that are willing to stick with it to the best of their current ability and cross that darn finish line.
The Tough-as-Nails award recipients:
- Amanda Jerman (MO) completed the 50 mile journey in 13:32:51.
- Perrin Peacock (OH) and Cariann Hutchens (MS) crossed the 50 km finish together in 8:33:41.

Race Reports
- “This race really is more about camaraderie and fellowship, than competition. But . . . there was still some racing going on and here’s how it shook out for me.” by Casseday @ Chasing the Wind
- “As I was leaving I noticed that a woman had passed me while I was lollygagging at the aid station. I was feeling competitive. She was walking parts of the rocky hill that took us past the halfway point, so I did my Colorado thing and just ran, slowly but surely. If I had been more focused on staying on course and less on kicking ass, I would have noticed that I was being lead off course.” by Laurie @ Lost in the Dirt (Day 1), Day 2
- “I could say these past three days have been like a dream, but I have never had close to this much fun in a dream. 95 miles in 3 days in running shoes with marked trails and aid stations. This may just be the best way to discover a new area of the world. And the Ozarks are gorgeous.” by Sea Legs Girl
- “We had a fun trip. I had insisted on driving down to Arkansas, as flying with little kids stresses me out. We packed 5 people and too much junk into our aging minivan (the “busboos”) and drove south.” by Fast Bastard

This whole 3-day festival always seemed like a lot of fun. I just need to find time to take off during a week – from work AND kids:)
