Zion 100k Ultra Marathon Race Report
Instead of blogging about this entire race experience I’m going to just cover my drama filled final hours here. Check out this video about the entire race: https://youtu.be/u5ewJdD1790 Now to recap the after dark activities starting at miles 45 ish. When the lights went out in Zion close to 9 PM I was on a wide open dirt road. EzPz for starters. My trucker chest lights illuminated the path perfectly. There were 2 loops left to finish the race. One was eight miles long and the next one was five and a half miles. For the record, I hate running this type of course at night. I put it out of my mind but knew when the time came that I would just have to suck it up for a couple/few hours. The faster I ran during the day, the less time I would have to spend out at night. That didn’t exactly pan out the way I hoped. Trails are marked by reflector ribbons every 20 to 50 yards. Once you see one you know you’re going the right way. If you don’t see one for a while, you’re probably off course
