for whatever its worth I ran the 50K in 2006. Not sure if any of you ran HS X-C or can even remember it if you did. But by the time we had gone 5k on steep roller coaster hills I was dead meat (same sick feeling from HS-XC) and thought only 45K to go! the trail was a mix of grass, gravel roads and in some places it was hay fields that they had merely run a mower thru and the footing was not great. this pic (below) of Cliff Rogers (experienced ultra runner) tells the whole story, don't be fooled by the scenic green grass etc He got those sticks as crutches cause his legs wouldn't work any longer: http://homepage.mac.com/maparo/.Pictures/Photo%20Album%20Pictures/2006-05-30%2013.29.17%20-0700/Image-714275A8F01811DA.jpg
