ran this race around 1968, never believed I could do it without walking. Ran with JikmDaley(new Ipswich NH) steady running till 5 1/2 mark. Jim said keep going, I can't keep up with you. What an adrenalin shot.! I finished 3rd. Closing hard on the 2nd runner - but didn;t catch him (Angus Wooton) Always enjoyed the views above timberline. often trained in the mts. three or four days before the race. Train as if you were preparing for a marathon. At that time, the field was about 85 or 90 runners. one of my favorite races. Richard Clapp (now in Indianapolis). unfortunately no hills here.
Thanks so much for sharing the video, it was great to re-live the race. This was my third time (first was 15 years ago) and it was by far the most fun. I agree, we can't thank the volunteers enough!!! As Roald Amundsen reportedly said "It's a great day to be alive"
Cool video! Enjoyed your other video about the guy's 1st marathon too. Conditions look brutal. Just signed up for the lottery so hoping to get in this year.
Hey, that’s awesome you’re running this year. I mostly focused on Hill repeats at last once or twice a week for a month or so leading up to the race. There’s one particular hill in my town with a 12% grade or so (and roughly half a mile up) with some switch backs… I did repeats on that a bunch
Nice vid. When you said you walked 80 percent of it , I thought to myself that you kind of cheated. Kind of a baby. Maybe you would do 2:10 or so, I said. When I saw your time of 1:47 I was very surprised. I , "ran" most of it and clocked a time of 1:48. I think that your walking is better than my running! I'm sure you could take 10 min off your time if you ran more of the race. Good luck next time.
Haha, yeah, I’m able to hike at a pretty decent pace, but would like to do it again and run more. I was talking with Dave McGillvray before the race and he said he’s run the whole thing and run/walked it and his fastest times were run/walk.

@Running With Cameras Thanks Greg!
First time runner in 2019 - Thanks for the video it helps me share the experience with friends and motivate my fellow runners to join me!
Thanks for watching & sharing! Congrats on your run.

Only ONE Hill! So impressive Greg! This was fascinating to watch and it will be so helpful to anyone considering this race!
Thanks, Eva! Yeah, I hope this video is helpful for people thinking about tackling this race.
This comment on the one year anniversary of your run. I hope those that did it today also enjoyed. This is a nice video.
inspiring stuff - thanks! Go get it again!

Awesome! Hope you get your number picked. That’s a bucket-list race for sure
Totally wanna do this! Thanks for the vid!
Ugh, what's wrong with me that this sounds like fun?
I know lol. Who would think running up a 7 mile hill would be fun? Me too of course!
I'm running this June! What was your training plan? Do you mind sharing?

Driving on that road seems highly likely to result in death
Do you need a partner for the run or you can run by yourself too.
