Iron Legs Pre-View

There's a new ultra on the Alberta Ultra Circuit and it is going to be challenging and incredibly scenic. The Iron Legs 50 Miler is all set to go for August and "epic" is the first word that comes to mind. On Saturday, I had the pleasure of joining a few friends for a preview and together, we ran the first 50+km of the course. With over 14,000 feet of elevation that we measured on the 50k, this course is a going to be a monster.



The race will take you through some of my favorite sections of Kananaskis Country. The course will be a loop, a beautiful circle tour of 80km of classic front range scenery and single track trails. These trails offer challenging climbs, long descents and beautiful scenery. Just the kind of run that I love. Tough, challenging and beautiful.






And clearly, you need to see bigger photos so you can see all of the photos here.

Thanks to Jamie and Tasha Nott for organizing and new friends Mairead, Payman and Rose for such a great day on the trails.
