2002 Report

Report

The run started with a cold clear dawn at the Capitol Yacht Club. 57 Runners participated in this years event. Some choose to head in early, meet along the trail, while a core group completed the entire 50 Km. Those who made it back to the CYC enjoyed hot showers, good company and lots of good food (vegetarian chili, wild rice soup, sandwiches and more).

Of special note were two new participants to this years event. Ray Scharenbrock completed his 7th circuit of running a marathon or longer in all 50 states plus DC. His running buddy, Don Lang also completed his 322 marathon and plus run. Meeting runners like this makes events like this even more special. There also were several runners who completed the distance for their first ultra.

A very special thanks to Dan Grayson for providing Aid at Roosevelt Island, Ft. Marcy, and Fletcher’s Boat House. We couldn’t do this event with the quality of aid without Dan. I want to thank everyone who participated. Jeanne and I enjoy putting this event on each year and will continue as long as we have the full cooperation of all the runners.
