WasatchSpeedGoat 50k~Registration closes 7/16/07
Meltzer just got the course finalized with Snowbird and Alta! Hang on for some big climbs throughout the two resorts, we will be trekking through the tunnel twice and crossing Mt. Baldy into Alta. Be prepared for a slow decent down Baldy Ridge this is a steep descent that will require a slow scramble down a cliff ban, we will have the route flagged with spotters from Black Diamond to assist you down the ridge. There is a total of 5 climbs and descents throughout the course, this race will take some time to complete do not panic and think you are running a slow time because everyone is going to post a slow time! There is a total of 5 aid stations you will pass during the race, the espresso bar will be in the tunnel ! The race starts and finishes on the Snowbird Tram deck, we will be there Friday night with maps and information on the course, final race instructions will be posted shortly. This course is made for the Montrail Vitesse, we highly recommend you run this race in the hardy Vitesse so you can dance through the rocks with confidence! Sharpen your hooves, we will see you in three weeks!!

I stayed at Snowbird in 2005 acclimating for Wasatch. I hiked the area and trails that much of WSG 50 will cover. It’s going to be a very challenging run to say the least. I wish I could make it for the run as the course is not only challenging, but beautiful. Have fun going over Baldy and down into Alta. My advice to all but the most elite runner, is to have fun, enjoy the trail, it will be an experience!!! Jim C.

What time will the race package pick-up be going on Friday, and when will there be a pre-race meeting that evening as well? We’re driving in from Colorado and want to get there on time.

A quick question about the Montrail Vitesse. How much medial support do they have? Are they posted for pronation control? I’m just about to pull the trigger and buy a pair out of the WSG store but I have a very rigid foot that usually requires a neutral/cushioned shoe. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
