Sunmart is the BEST RACE EVER!

Hands down…Sunmart is the coolest race ever. Not only does the race schwag and food put everyone else to shame (I’m talking cool  max race shirts, hats, jackets, sunglasses, notebooks, etc), but the atmosphere and trail running culture is superior. It is a community of like minded individuals who love life, nature and have genuine care for others.  I’ll be writing more about it in my race report, but I’m still learning how to walk again today!

4th overall Female at the Sunmart 50K and 1st in my age group (since the winner was THE WINNER)! I walked away with an infamous bronze horse trophy AND $100 in prize money for placing!

Full Race Report coming soon. Suffice to say, it’s a good one!

P.S.  Thanks to Kathleen Woodhead for cheering her brains out and thanks to everyone for sharing concern for my friend Amy who dropped with a severe ankle strain at Mile 5. She’s doing much better today and she will be back to avenge the course!
