Yo Saturnalia!
Get ready for a fun and festive holiday 10K trail race at Squaxin Park in Olympia, WA on December 13.

This was the 30th edition of the Hardrock 100 Endurance Run in the San Juan mountains in Colorado, USA. This year’s event was overshadowed by the tragic death of experienced ultra runner Elaine Stypula in the early hours of the run. Under smoky conditions the field set out on a counterclockwise loop traversing the rugged 100 mile course.

At the front of the field, the signs were pointing early toward international dominance, only broken up by Katie Schide (who lives in France, so can Americans really claim her?)

For full results visit the Hardrock website, below are the top runners:

MEN

  1. Ludovic Pommeret – France – 22:21:55
  2. Mathieu Blanchard – France – 23:44:31
  3. Germain Grangier – France – 24:04:11

WOMEN

  1. Katie Schide – USA – 25:50:28 (new course record!)
  2. Manon Bohard – France – 28:36:20
