Matt Crownover backs up his 2010 win on the 50 km course with a sub 4:30 finish!

On November 12th over 240 runners participated in the 16th Annual Rockledge Rumble Trail run that takes place in north Texas on the undulating and beautiful shores of Grapevine Lake. A strong wind, sunny skies, and pleasant temps escorted the runners throughout the day.

The event provided a 50 km, 30 km, and 15 km scamper.

The trails along Grapevine lake continue to be refined every year leading to a slightly unique course from previous years with the trail only getting better. Runners received plenty of rolling single and double track terrain. Some rocks, a few roots, and sweet images of the lake.

“By mile 25, I was behind schedule by fifteen minutes, after pushing hard, knowing that I was behind. I started to get it: the Cactus Rose isn’t all roses.” – Rhonda Claridge

Colorado ultra athlete Rhonda Claridge, ran her first Texas trail adventure at the ruggedly beautiful Cactus Rose 100 in what is arguably the most beautiful running month in the region – October.

Rhonda went on to win Cactus Rose in 21:49:28 (race summary)! This was not without acquiring some new found respect for the distance.

The TATUR crew delivered a pre-holiday run of 50 km, 25 km, or 10 km.

All distances enjoy a loop course. The 10 km and 25 km will run a single loop while the 50 km dirt lovers will run the 25 km loop twice. The trail is mostly groovy single track that includes technical and cruise-mode sections. It’s trail running baby!

“I ran the rest of the race thinking he was right behind me. It was dark, and we were both running without lights so I just assumed he was just a few short steps behind me.” – Ryan Loehding

Texan Ryan Loehding, always brings a consistent effort whenever he races. Three weeks after co-winning the 8 Hour Run from the Ducks event, Ryan went on to win the inaugural Pumpkin Holler 100 (results summary) in 19:20:52. This was not without a bit of excitement five miles from the finish.
