Western States 100 - iRunFar preview
When it comes to this daddy of ultra-trail races you need some local knowledge. So, when looking ahead to the hotly anticipated 2010 edition of this American classic it’s best left to those Stateside. Who better then than iRunFar.com:
Hal Koerner, Geoff Roes, Anton Krupicka, Kilian Jornet, Zach Miller, Leigh Schmitt, Erik Skaden, Mark Godale, Nick Clark, Rod Bien, Andy Henshaw, Justin Angle, Josh Brimhall, Craig Thornley, Andy Jones-Wilkins, Devon Crosby-Helms, Nikki Kimball, Meghan Arbogast, Tracy Garneau, Amy Palmiero-Winters….these are just some of the names being mentioned in the crazy-deep starting field that is the 37th Annual Western States Endurance Run (Saturday, June 26 – Sunday, June 27 in Squaw Valley, California). 18,000+ feet of climbing and 21,000+ feet of descent are crammed in between the start at Squaw Valley Ski Resort and the finish at the Placer High School track in Auburn, California.
There will be a live webcast from the event too. Full preview here. From afar Mud, Sweat and Tears are going with MST favourites Kilian Jornet and Anton Krupicka – but what do we know?!
