It's quite the social event. All my friends will be there, running, volunteering, crewing or pacing someone. Runners have 36 hours to finish this tough, rocky ultramarathon with 16,200 feet of ascent over 100 miles.
If you're running, I'll see you at Veach Gap. Good luck out there!

The irrepressible Gary Knipling will be running his 15th MMT100!
Will he carry the mango bikini bottoms again? |

| MMT100 always brings back memories of Mike Broderick. We miss you, friend. |
Sadly, all of your friends will not be there. But, I'll be thinking of you all! Have fun out there this weekend. Jealous!!
ReplyDeleteTrue - we will miss you Amy! Next year?
DeleteSo wish I could be there. Have a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteAnd maybe you should consider, instead of Laurel Highlands, oh, say, The Ring! I hope to make the trek down again this year.
I hope you have a great weekend! It sounds like it will be a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun event. Have a great time playing in the mountains!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! Makes my road runs seem very boring. Loving your posts by the way!
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice picture of your hubs! Have fun, friend.
ReplyDeleteI love events that have such interesting, storied histories and traditions. Enjoy the apple-cider doughnut, and the inspiring performances!
