Red Rock Canyon 50k Ultra - 3rd Place Finish!!

In this episode of Mountain High Adventures on KZbin we take on the Red Rock Canyon 50k Ultra hosted by Desert Grown Racing. The race took place November 12th, 2022, in Red Rock Canyon, just outside of Las Vegas, NV. There was lots of anticipation and build up before this race. All the local runners came out to support and there was a strong showing from out of towners too. I had a great race and came in 3rd place! Before the race I went around and interviewed a bunch of the runners, including Alex Honnold, who went on to have a great race and he finished 5th! Links below for more info...

So fun that you interviewed some of the runners then posted their finishing times/places! Awesome racing my friend!

[@mountainhighadventures]

Thanks Chad!

I appreciate your descriptions along the way, Chris. Good job! In addition, very cool that we didn't have to wait until the end to see your friend's race results. You knew you had enough suspenseful content that we'd all stay to the end anyway. The Alex cameo was a treat. Two thumbs up brother!

Awesome video man! Thanks for putting up great content.. Just move to Vegas and I use your videos to get inspiration for runs, hike, and scrambles. Hopefully I’ll run into you one of these days. Congrats on the podium finish!

Lookin' good...all that work with Alex paying off :)

Thank you!

Amazing video! I'm planning on running this year. Is the trail technical enough to warrant trail runners, or did you just use regular running shoes?

[@mountainhighadventures]

The trail through Red Rock, basically the first 15 miles is very rocky and technical, definitely wore max cushion trail runners. Hoka Speedgoats. Thank you! 🙏🏼

@@mountainhighadventures super helpful. Thanks!

[@robnierreyes7197]

so good, did you not recognize the honnold when you first talked to him?

[@mountainhighadventures]

I did, I asked everyone the same 3 questions whether I knew them or not.

[@robnierreyes7197]

@@mountainhighadventures yes I got that, but then you exclaimed "Honnold" at the start of the run. I thought you realized it was him once you started running. Did I get that wrong?

[@mountainhighadventures]

@@robnierreyes7197 oh yeah, I knew he was running the race, but I didn’t realize he was right behind me while I was filming. I looked up and realized he was right next to me, that’s when I exclaimed “oh, it’s Honnold!”

[@robnierreyes7197]

@@mountainhighadventures epic!!! I am running my first 50k in Auburn this April. Haven't climbed much in the last few months but was wondering what Honnold and Cedar would think of ultras given their love for sufferfests. your video gave me the answer 🙂 Last but not least, congrats on your results and keep making vids. 🤙

[@mountainhighadventures]

Thank you! 🙏🏼 Good Luck in Auburn.

[@katynall6648]

What were you listening to?! My husband is betting show tunes so now I need to know 😂

[@mountainhighadventures]

Are you referring to the ear buds? I had a playlist of mostly old school hip hop like the Beasty Boys, Run DMC, and LL Cool J.
