Yes, you read that right…100 miles!! An amazing collection of athletes running from Folsom to Auburn and back!
Rio del Lago 100 Mile Endurance Run this link contains a neat promotional video of the run.
The boys and I were fortunate to serve at one of the aid stations. We were located at 44.5 miles. The route loops around and our same aid station served runners at 74.7 miles. We helped set up and then assist the front runners. We had to leave as the middle of the pack were coming in.
This was the view the runners had as they were coming into our station…
Our aid station had a Hawaiian theme. Here the boys are relaxing, waiting for runners to come in. They spent their time flipping bottles…
The hydration and fuel tables all prepped and ready to go!
This is the first runner to come in to our station. I am pretty sure he won the whole thing. I can’t confirm that the number/name align. But, I think this is Mark Hammond, 31 years old, from Salt Lake City, Utah. He completed the 100 miles in 15 hours, 33 minutes, 28 seconds. If I did my math right, he clocked an average pace of a 9:33 minute mile!! He also placed second overall for top performers in the race. The best was two minutes less back in 2007.
Our team stocking the tables….
My adorable goofs. I love them so much.
The route…
