Maverick will be leaving for Lake City, CO on Wednesday (June 18th) to compete in the San Juan Solstice 50 Mile Run.

Bret has done this run a couple of times before and is hoping to improve his time this year. This is no easy trail run:

“A 50-mile trail run in the San Juan Mountains of south-central Colorado. We devised the route to be one of the most beautiful loops you’ll ever do, replete with all those adventurous components that go along with a long day in the high mountains: stream crossings, ridge running, mega-altitude to go along with the huge views, heat, route finding, and, of course, potentially life-threatening thunderstorms.”

“There are three climbs: #1 is almost 4,500’ up Alpine Gulch; #2 is 4,000’ up past the old ghost town of Carson and onto the continental Divide; #3 comes at mile 41 and is only about 2,000’.”

So join us in wishing Mav good running.
