Badger Mountain Challenge 50M

[@seekingUltraNick]

Incredible race, Wes. Those downhill sections were nuts! Great video once again.

[@SeeChadRun]

This video makes me want to enjoy and endure the journey of a 50 miler trail race! I ran 56 miles on a mostly flat course (self supported) but yet, I can only imagine what it's like doing a run like yours. Great job, way to finish, and thank you for taking us along the journey!

[@wplate]

The 50Ms out here in the PNW get some vert! But they're beautiful and rewarding. Thanks for watching!

[@adamnickel]

Ive lived in tri cities for almost a decade and I learned about new trails today! Thank you!

Great video. Gave me flashbacks. I was out there doing the 100 miler. It's a tough and underrated course but the weather was perfect. Looks like we both got it done though.

[@wplate]

Congrats on finishing the 100! This course is tough enough one time, respect to you! Thanks for watching.

[@RobynGermaine]

So windy!!!

[@afatland]

Great video, Wes! Happy to have met you at BMC and great to relive the day here. Thanks!

[@wplate]

Thanks Anson! It was fun trying to keep up with you in the race, you did a great job. I look forward to seeing you on the trails again.

[@runningwithsimon]

Congrats Wes! And thanks for sharing, that was very helpful when I prepared to race the 100 this year :)

[@wplate]

How’d your 100 go?

[@runningwithsimon]

@@wplate Went OK - not my best, not my worse. I just posted it on my channel if curious. The climb up McBee flared up my Achilles real bad - it's been a recurring issue lately - and some sleep walking. But overall, it was a nice race!

[@wplate]

@@runningwithsimon Nice work on the finish. I enjoyed your video!

[@MarathonMonk]

Appreciate you making this video! It's super well-made. I'm going to run this race!

[@wplate]

I hope you have a great time! It is a tough but beautiful course. Good luck!

[@irunovermountains]

Great job mate. Always good to get a fifty in so early in the year. Enjoyed following along, as always 🙌

[@wplate]

Thanks Aaron. This race is a good one, and early in the year makes it a useful for training. I normally don't re-run races, but I may have to do this one again. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@brettandrewclarke]

Love your films Wes.

[@wplate]

Thank you! 🙌🏼

[@Zyzzyx42]

I run the Orchard aid station, thanks so much for some good video of what the jeep trails look like on either side of it. I've always been told they're tough, and yeah... that looks gnarly.

[@wplate]

Thank you for volunteering and making the event so special!

[@kevinhaskins6619]

I love your videos Wes... you are a real inspiration.

[@wplate]

Thank you, Kevin, that’s nice to hear. I wish you a wonderful 2022!

[@TucsonArizona]

Looks like a really cool place! I love the mountains and I’m so thankful to live in a place where I’m surrounded by them. Fun channel! I’m following!

[@wplate]

I need to visit Tucson, I haven't been yet. Good trail running there?

[@TucsonArizona]

@@wplate heck yes! 😀

[@wplate]

@@TucsonArizona Right on. I look forward to a visit in the future.

[@NickandRachel]

Thank you for watching!

[@KawaiiandDark]

Went up badger mountain for the first time & I feel like I'd die if I attempted this anytime soon

[@wplate]

It is a challenging course!

[@braddenty503]

Haha sugar sand on an uphill...haha ya its gonna freaking zap those legs. I know, I live in central Florida and WAS into triathlon til my son showed up. Coming out of the swim with your HR maxed and then try to rum up a beach to transition...yuk. Ive been enjoying your videos for a while now so please keep it up. I think its time for me to slow down and possibly go longer and this is definitely pushing me that way IF I can check my dang ego and roll slower

[@wplate]

Glad you enjoyed this one!

[@Some-Guy-]

Another great video!

[@wplate]

I'm so happy you like my videos. :)

[@ivysbatman]

My buddy Micky Cecil ran this a few times and I'll join him on this run next time 🔥

[@wplate]

Nice! Maybe I’ll see you out there.
