Trail Marathon, 40-Miler, 100-Km in one Weekend

Well, the 1st Annual Vasque Free State Trail Run, held at Clinton State Park in Lawrence, Kansas is now history. What a fun event! I loved every part of this process…the planning, the build-up, and especially the delivery.

Waiting for the final 100-Kilometer runner to come in after 17 hours and 47 minutes may sound like a drag to you, but I loved it. It was so worth it, just to see the expression of accomplishment on his face.

I'll post a formal Race Director's report soon. Until then, here are a few photos:

    Thanks, Rob.

    Yeah, I love the medals and buckle. Once again, our wonderful designer (Jason Crosby at http://jasoncrosbyillustration.com) came through with some incredible designs.
