Running the Bighorn 52 mile ultra marathon. This is one tough course.

Big Horn is both beauty and beast. You looked solid out there. Can’t wait to eventually run this thing with you.

Thank you for sharing this amazing video...i lost that battle with the mud in the 52 mile back in 2017 AND 2019...ran the 50K this year and finally crossed that finish line! You'll be back I'm sure. Congrats on getting to Dry Fork!

The mud and the wall are tough for sure. Thanks for the encouragement. I’ll be back!!

This course is insane but the views are unbelievable 🔥

[@justdobetter8]

So much mud. I’ll get it done in 2024!

@@justdobetter8 so just in that 24 or 26 miles how much elevation was that!? It looked tough as hell

[@justdobetter8]

@@Bubba.the.Runner ran 34.97 miles and total elevation gain was 5,410. Race starts at just shy of 10,000 feet.

@@justdobetter8 😳😳 Holy crap! That's legit! So really 50 miles is like a 100 miler lol

Any tips on training for this? It looks like a beatdown, but wondered if you had any specific advice after 2 years at the course!

[@justdobetter8]

Focus on hill training and leg strength. The mud is basically there the whole time so prepare mentally for that. Save your trekking poles for the wall at mile 18. Having poles with fresh arms can be a huge difference maker and I would have made the cut off if I had done that this year instead of using the poles from the beginning.Get to the mountains to acclimate to the elevation as soon you can.
