The 50K sees some new gravel and roads this year and will join the 100k through the full classic Equalizer loop through Warrenton and all of the most awesome and refreshing creek crossings from last year. The 50K this year is XL and is really 43 miles. (we like to use K because its cool) Choose either the 50k or 100k climbing 1800' and 3786' of up downs.. The 50 and 100 will stay together until mile 5. All State Championship contenders will race the 100k distance.
