This race is a tough challenge. At nearly 32 miles, it is longer than a marathon and in addition, there is nearly 4,400 feet of ascent.
It was perhaps no surprise that Tom Beebe led the Barlickers home. He is good at these long races where you have to keep plodding on remorselessly on. Second home for Barlick was Lorraine Slater. For her first venture in an ultra race, she did remarkably well. She was 11th lady and first FV45.
