Here are 164 photos from the last Red Newt Race of the year, the Water Gap 50k!

Instead of writing a lengthy recap of the race as there is too much to express, I plan on giving you the Sparknotes version: 50 Pathways to Success at the Virgil Crest Ultras that I have found in my race.

By the time I woke up, I was already feeling the impact of the altitude. Training at the sea levels of Virginia for a race at the high elevations of Utah was not going to be a vacation getaway.

This was Lisa's 2nd year crewing/pacing at the Virgil Crest ultras for her boyfriend Jim Porter. This year  she was able to help out at 2 aid stations and pace for Jim as well.

The inaugural Cat’s Tail Trail Marathon took place Saturday October 3, 2015. Here are 254 photos that Joe Azze captured from the day! 

With a strong support crew, Silas went from having thoughts of dropping, to running one of his best races to date!

Here are some photos and thoughts from the 2015 Vermont 50 Mile Mountain Bike Race by Joe Azze.

This was Evan's 2nd year in a row riding the VT 50 and it is quickly becoming his favorite race of the season. Evan took almost 30 minutes off his time from the previous year and did so just using 1 gear.

Jennifer felt very fortunate to have shared this past year's adventures, training and racing with her daughter Alex. Here she looks back on the year and puts things into perspective.

This was the inaugural running of the Ellenville Mountain Running Festival. Ben Nephew & MPF RNR Teammate Iain Ridgway ran the marathon distance and just about had another sprint finish to the end as they did earlier in the year at Breakneck Ridge...

This was Ben's 15th year running the Escarpment 18.6 Mile Trail Run which takes place in the rugged Catskills of New York. He thought he seen it all, but every year at Escarpment is somehow different, and this year was no exception, especially with the surprise at the top of Blackhead Mountain...

This years Sky Marathon had a bit of an added challenge with the torrential downpours the night before and throughout the day. Runners were in knee deep mud at times and battling 50+mph winds near the summit.

The weekend of June 27th marked the inaugural Whiteface Skyrunning weekend, and I was eager to test myself in a new discipline of racing.

The 39th running of the mountain goats is in the books! Here are 124 photos from the day. We hope to see everyone at the 40th running next year!
