It would be nice since I do not plan on running it this year so I could help out with some of the details as well. My only worry is that he will try to commercialize it too much and not leave it the way it is. If he takes over the duties I will do my best to make sure it stays the great low key event that has made it so popular. It definitely needs to stay on the calendar though it would be a shame to lose such a great event.robtherunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066981363064781863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15014874.post-1135972690510690382005-12-30T13:58:00.000-06:002005-12-30T13:58:00.000-06:00Yes, the pictures of the roads didn't look particu...Yes, the pictures of the roads didn't look particularly appealing (although Marshall "UltraWalker" was in one of the pictures!).onepinkfuzzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04051876085727067200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15014874.post-1135956344047994962005-12-30T09:25:00.000-06:002005-12-30T09:25:00.000-06:00I will never do Heartland, because long, straight ...I will never do Heartland, because long, straight dirt roads aren't my thing. I like to run on twisty trails. <BR/>I'm hoping that they find a new race director for Cascade Crest, and the race is scheduled officially, soon. If not, I will choose another "mountain" 100, possibly The Bear or Angeles Crest. Whatever I can do to qualify for a chance at Hardrock.<BR/><BR/>A list of 100-milers is at http://www.run100s.comBen, aka BadBenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00686400413182985272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15014874.post-1135912165203083452005-12-29T21:09:00.000-06:002005-12-29T21:09:00.000-06:00What an inspiring photo!!!
