Kenosha Pass run



Sept. 28, 2013 

Evan raced in the Ultra Race of Champions (100k ultra running race). He had is first DNF and completed a tough 34 miles of the 62 miles. See his blog for amazing photos and race report: http://evanmacfarlane.blogspot.com/2013/10/two-race-reports-in-one.html. The race went from Breckenridge to Frisco to Copper Mountain to Minturn and finished in Vail with 13,245ft total vertical gain in 62 miles and going up to over 12,000 ft. This race had the most elite athletes in the world and I have such respect for these athletes. It was pretty awesome to see Evan running with them and even though he had to DNF he completed a tough 34 miles and I was very proud of him! 

Athlete meeting and we were able to see Kilian Jornet in person!
