I’m soooo beyond excited to announce that I’ll be participating in my first ever stage race, the Golden Ultra Marathon in Golden, BC from September 18-20. Three days of trail running, beautiful views and all kinds of sweaty fun.
The Golden Ultra features three stages: The Blood, the Sweat and The Tears. The Blood is a 5K with 1,000 meters of vertical gain. The Sweat is the kicker; its a 55K race with over 2,500 meters of elevation gain. And finally, the Tears is a relatively easy 20K with only 375 meters of elevation gain. So I’ll be doing an 80K (nearly 50 miles) over the three days.
I’ve never done a stage race (unless you count a relay race) and can imagine it will be a lot harder than running a 50 miler all in one day…waking up with sore legs and a tired body and then hitting the trails again for more miles…whew…tired just thinking about it. But even as hard as it might be, I also know its going to be a ton of fun (and not to mention, beautiful!).

This would be an awesome event! Woo Hoo
It’s going to be SO MUCH FUN!
Oh, me, me, me! (So long as we aren’t racing for time.)
Hahah, of course you wouldn’t have to race for time!
Oh my gosh. I just poked around their website and jaw dropping happened. This race looks incredible! I have never done an ultra before, but I am in the market for one. What an awesome opportunity! Whoever my partners would be, they better be supportive. Ha.
It will be SO FUN. Hope you can come play on the Canada trails with us!
