2009 The North Face 50 Mile Endurance Challenge - Bear Mountain, New York
Just going through our older footage and came upon the 2009 The North Face 50 Mile Endurance Challenge in Bear Mountain State Park. I quickly re-edit for a fresh feel and we now finally have it up on YouTube and Facebook.
This was a fun one to be a part of and it was similar to the original 2008 course. It started with rain throughout the early morning hours; which is usual around here for this time of year, that then turned into a dense fog encasing the park.
Watch Nikki Kimball take an early lead and hold it for the win, with Cristina Carvalho taking 2nd and Elizabeth Azze hanging onto 3rd place. Ben Nephew and Brian Rusiecki tried to chase down Leigh Schmitt. Full results
Who is signed up for this year's race on May 4th & 5th? Which race are you doing?
I came into the 2015 The North Face Endurance Challenge 50k at Bear Mountain State Park unsure of my fitness; I hadn’t raced since September of last year, I hadn’t done the volume or long runs in training that I would have liked… But I was also very excited! It was time to race again, and it was my first race representing the MPF/RNR team!
