This year marked a first in the long history of this event. Despite the sunshine and warming conditions for the first time nobody managed to complete 50K. Due to deep crusty snow on all but the first few kilometres of the 25K loop most chose to head to the post-race event at the Black Sheep Pub after 25K. A few others went out for another lap of the 10K loop to get in a few more training miles. This was a day where "lighter was better" as some managed to stay on the crust (some of the time) while anyone over about 140 lbs was doomed to crash through ALL of the time. Most just found somebody to run with and toughed it out. With the great weather the views of the surrounding mountains were a sight to behold after our weeks of rain, snow and wind.

Many thanks to Wendy & Blurr for the great draw prizes
