Leadville 2011: 10 years at 10,000′
Leadville 2011. The 10th one. One thousand miles. History. This all started back in 2000 when Japhy went and did “this race in Leadville” and seemed to have a great time and encouraged me to do it. So, the next year I applied and got in and, 11 years later, I’m still doing it.... »

Old Pueblo 2011!
I think most of us are back! The race went fairly well, for me at least, despite the wind and rain. Post up your report below in the comments. Here’s a sweet photo of Stable At Speed (Dir, Turtle Afairs) by Robert Dunn: »

As the name clearly states, this new trail will provide an opportunity to bypass the infamous Gas Line section of the course affectionately referred to as “the Bitches.”"... »
