More New Races

Go Beyond Racing announces ‘Firelane Trail Trail‘:

We’re putting on a Time Trial on Firelane 1 in Forest Park this spring. It’s a wee-bit steep and you go both up and down. The Firelane Trail Trial course is 4.45 miles roundtrip, with 1,266 feet of total gain and total loss.

This one’s worth pointing out because it doesn’t fit the ol’ “has to be an ultra with a round number” to be considered a real trail race mantra.

And for the sake of completion, Coast Mountain Trail Running announces details of their new even Alpenglow100:

The event location, which was the piece missing from the original announcement, is in Valemount, BC, far inland from the coast, in the Canadian Rockies. The pictures look absolutely stunning. Mapping a route from seemingly anywhere makes you weep a little, it’s so remote.
