I love supporting this race. This is my sixth year, the third at the Roosevelt location. The runners are incredible; driven, motivating, unbelievable athletes. We see many of the same faces each year and it's like reuniting with old friends, even though we don't know their names. All we know is that they undertake to run 101+ miles on challenging (an understatement) mountain trail in 36 hours or better. They come to us muddied, bloodied, hungry, thirsty, smelly, having finished 33.3 miles, and bravely leave us to tackle the remaining 68. They are grateful, they are kind, they are an example.
Congratulations, Massanutten runners. Just like Massanutten, you rock!
