If you are thinking of Trail Running your first 100k - I highly suggest Black Canyon Ultra 100k in Arizona. This race by Aravaipa Running is a great Ultra Marathon.
Curious about the trail running gear I use and recommend: check out this link

What's more, Black Canyon 100k is a Golden Ticket Race to Qualify for Western States 100 Ultra Marathon - the best elite runners will line up at this race.
Black Canyon 100k ultramarathon was interesting for me being back, considering that this is where I ran my first ever 100k 2 years ago. I feel I’ve come a long way since, and I’m totally transformed as a runner and a person. To put things in perspective, when I first ran this, we were pre-pandemic!
In retrospect, Black Canyon was the perfect 100k for new ultrarunners. Beautiful trail, net downhill, great aid station and support. Follow me as I tackle it once more!

It is actually very helpful and motivating to hear you keep repeating "I'm tired" even as you keep running all the way to the end. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your run!

Thanks! There was definitely some walking here and there - but I kept focusing on keeping my legs moving until the finish line!

Simon, you are a stud. Can't imagine my body holding up doing this... so I live vicariously through you!

As long as we do something we enjoy - doesn't have to be running forever!

Unbelievable. Incredible job! You have McDonalds for dinner, sleep in your car, then push through complete exhaustion to finish strong. I'd asked in your OD video if you've ever hit a really low point, and here it looks like you did, but you battled through. Any tips for that? Also, I'm so glad to hear even beasts like you get tired legs in the first 10-20 miles. I'll be able to dismiss it from my mind in future races as "not a concern", instead of worrying about it!

Dude, epic footage!

It's a gorgeous course - especially the first half!

Thinking about doing the 100k on Saturday and 60k on Sunday we see.

@runningwithsimon 2 года назад

That's awesome! Good luck :) I wonder if they'll ever switch back to the pre-pandemic schedule with both races starting on Saturday.

@dewknow1315 2 года назад

@@runningwithsimon I don't think they will because they can get more runners both days . I talked to the RD and he said he doesn't see it happening never say never .

That's awesome! It's a really cool (and iconic) one! If you haven't seen it - highly recommend watching "Fine line" by aravaipa

@@runningwithsimon Loved fined line. I think living in the Hottest city in the US.. Yuma.. is going to help me a bit. Our terrain looks very similiar. We started a route and coined it the Hot Rock50.. let me tell you.. grueling! This will be my go to trainer for BC23. Thanks friend. Leona Divide 100k this weekend.
