Thank you. Whoops, I completely overlooked Imogene! I’ll edit the list to include it when I’m back on my laptop. I’ve only raced it twice since I do the road so frequently on training runs. It’s become very hard to get into—it fills up in mere minutes — and I think they should implement a lottery with a wait list.
As a desert dweller you should consider the new Kanab race in May!
Very good! Here's a fun photo I just discovered - Rick just said "Go" and jumped into the starting line on far left - then there's some guy 3rd from left:
I came here to say that I was feeling that Lake City was being dissed again but see that it was just an oversight. Thanks for adding SJS50. I hope you received my email about Ice Climbing in Lake City.
Hi Jerry -- I blame it on travel brain; I was in a hurry writing this post, with limited WiFi, and accidentally forgot both SJS and Imogene the first time, but added them in when I remembered! I highly recommend SJS50. I often tell people it's the very best aid station food I've ever experienced, with the home-cooked soups and pastas, even better than Hardrock's! I do recall your ice climbing recommendation from last winter, thank you. I want to visit Lake City in late June and spend a night or two there to get to know the parts of the course around Sherman, since I only have run those sections once while pacing in the clockwise direction a decade ago. Hope you're doing well, thanks for reading and have a happy holiday season.

Huge Congratulations Sarah!! Thank you so much for all these race recommendations and excellent questions. I want to run a 100 miler but I think I need a lot more 50 milers and 100Ks under my belt. Thanks again!!
I just realized I left San Juan Solstice 50 off this list. It’s a great one and Hardrock-hard but “only” 50. I’ll add it to the list when I’m back on the laptop.
Congratulations - especially for being in the Galapagos instead of glued to your computer screen on Lottery Day!
But in your otherwise excellent “races I recommend” you left out Imogene - next time I see Rick I may have to tell him you dissed him … 😜
Stay healthy - the longer the race the more this matters.
Also, I realized I left off SJS50 🤦♀️but added that in along with Imogene.

Sounds like you're enjoying your trip!
Awesome news, Sarah!
That's fantastic!!! Congratulations! Very happy for you!

I’ll look into this one. Thank you Sarah. :)
Congratulations on that Lottery! I'm hoping to make the NYC marathon lottery in 2025. I hope you have a great time on the rest of your trip :)
