Speedgoat 50k at Snowbird
It’s that time of year and the snow is melting fast except the fresh foot powder we just got! This year’s Speedgoat 50k is ready to rock through a new section called Mary Ellen’s gulch, west of Mineral Basin. Karl took a run there last fall and found a faint single track that takes you over the ridge into some new terrain, this is real goat country! So sharpen your hooves and get ready to run one of the toughest 50k trail race there is.
Snowbird’s Cliff Lodge is ready to take reservations for rooms @ $89.00 per night, just mention you’re running the “Speedgoat 50k” July 26th. 1-800-232-9542.
