The gang from Wasatch Running Center is putting on a much needed spring trail race in Riverton, Utah. Looks like we get to run on a military base called Camp Williams in the south end of the valley. If you need a good warm up for Squaw Peak 50 here’s your chance to join Milada Copeland and Darrell this May 23 to run the inaugural Sapper Joe 30k or 50k on beautiful Camp Williams.
Yes sir, one of the best trail runners ever shows up at the North Face Challenge to take the cash, his closet rival Ulli Steidl was unalble to hold off the surging Matt Carpenter who still has the leg speed. I ran Pike’s Peak Marathon the year those two had a show down on Matt’s home turf, guess who won that race??? Congrats to Matt and Kami Semick for taking the prize… 3 scrapes!!
Good to see Kyle still has some competition out there, nice run Karl Meltzer who just finished the AT Adventure!!

With Karl Meltzer running the event he posted hid usual savvy odds but now there is a late entry, Matt Carpenter!! Wow Ulli Steidl, Kyle Skaggs, Mike Wardian.. This is going to be a barn burner…stay tuned.
It’s time to set the race calander for 09 ! The Speedgoat 50k is ready to take applications as of December 1st.
The Speedgoat 50k…2009 version will be held on the 18th of July. One week earlier than last year. I’d like to see more snow on the course! Yah, just kiddin’. The course will be the same as 2008, unless some random circumstance happens. Applications will be available Dec. 1st, 2008, online at Active.com at 7am EST. The cost will be 70 bucks across the board. No early fee, no late fee, but you have to get it in by July 5th, nothing will be accepted after that as the registration page will be pulled. We are limiting the entries to 200 this year, so put us on your calendar and come run the toughest 50k in the US, (and probably the world). Snowbird has a great venue for runners and families alike, great rooms and activities for everyone ages 5-100.

Kyle Skaggs destroyed the course record at this year Hardrock 100. I was in Silverton, Colorado for two weeks acclimating for the ultimate trail race and heard rumors that Kyle wanted to finish less than 24 hours. I thought to myself no way, later I learned Kyle spent most of his summer in Silverton running the entire snow covered coarse. Once the race started Kyle took off and never looked back, paced by accomplished trail runner Nate McDowell Kyle was able to complete the course in 23:23:30. Anyone who’s finished this race is asking themselves how did he do it? 10 scrapes!!!
Kyle and Anton running Mt. Blanc? It would be nice to see USA get the podium at the largest international trail race around.. Scrape on..kyle.

Check this out, Rob Youngren new member for the 2009 Wasatch Speed Goat Mountain Racing Team cross trains on his unicycle. Don’t think this slows him down as he trekked from the deep south to post a 10th place finish at the 2008 Hardrock 100. What’s more amazing these guys compete in 50 mile races on these single wheeled bikes. I’ve had my share of mountain bike wrecks, imagine crashing on one of these.
Scrape on Rob!!
