4 Minutes with Kehr Davis at the 2017 Manitou's Revenge 54 Mile Ultra!
The 5th running of the Manitou’s Revenge Ultramarathon & Relay is in the books! Here is just 4 minutes of the 13 hours it took MPF RNR athlete Kehr Davis to negotiate the 54 miles from Big Hollow Road to Phoenicia, NY on some of the most challenging terrain the East Coast has to offer. This was Kehr’s 2nd consecutive win at Manitou! Stay tuned for more photos, videos and stories from an epic day in the Catskill Mountains of New York!
This was a race for the ages! It was the 5th running of one of the more rugged 50 mile trail ultramarathons in the US. It was a very dark day, with hot, humid and wet conditions. Not the ideal situation for photographs but the perfect conditions for an epic adventure.
Here is 4 Minutes with Deborah Livingston at the 2017 Manitou's Revenge (2nd female, 14:41). She was using this race to help prepare her for the Hardrock 100 that she competed in this past weekend and finished in a time of 41:01!
Amy was attempting her 5th consecutive finish of the Manitou's Revenge Ultramarathon & Relay and become one of the only athletes to have successfully completed this epic adventure each year since the inaugural running in 2013. It was a fight to the end.
This is a 54 mile adventure that runs through the heart of the Catskill Mountains of New York. These are extremely rugged and mountainous trails. This was Ben's 2nd time running the race. In 2014 he placed 2nd to Jan Wellford. Coming off an injury, Ben wasn’t sure how his day would go...
The trail and atmospheric conditions this year at Manitou's Revenge were challenging to say the least, with hot, humid air, and slick rocks giving us runners an even greater challenge than usual. Instead of a race report this time, I decided to try a gear report. I figure if those conditions were not tough enough to test some gear, I don’t know what would be.
Here is just 4 minutes of the 13+ hours it took MPF RNR athlete Kehr Davis to negotiate the 54 miles from Big Hollow Road to Phoenicia, NY on some of the most challenging terrain the East Coast has to offer.
I "Was Live" from the 2017 Manitou's Revenge Ultramarathon and Relay at mile 34ish on Indian Head Mountain, Devils Path!
Manitou’s Revenge is the best race in the world for me. Tough terrain, tons of climbing (+/- 16,000 ft) and a long enough distance (54 miles) to be able to go slow and steady. In other words, very little running. After last years time of 13:14, I was excited to see what I could do with very dry trails and the forecasted low humidity.
Within this post Elizabeth writes a little about what she has been up to, along with this year's 54 mile Manitou’s Revenge and the UTMA 165k from the Gaspesie National Park in Canada.
