Episode 82: Race Spotlight - Umstead 100
Manage episode 374713745 series 3296373
Our mission is to help you take your next step on your ultra running journey. And, sometimes, if you are like us, you may not know what that next step may look like. This week we are taking a look at the Umstead 100, which is a 100 mile run located in Raleigh, NC at the William B Umstead State park. The course consists of 8 loops of 12.5 miles each and consists of crushed gravel and dirt compacted together and provides good footing. Despite being on the east coast it does have some elevation, though not a ton like a mountain race, this course has rolling hills and is considered runnable, but many runners will take the hills as walk opportunities - particularly the steeper ones on the back half of the loop. Total elevation gain is 8000 feet. Runners have 30 hours to complete and the race is also a Western States qualifier. Join us as we sit down with Rhonda Hampton, Race Director for the Umstead 100.
