Day 3 in the Desert

Races & Events

What a race! Day 3 was an 11 mile jaunt that Allen Belshaw and Scott Jaime ran in 1:25. Allen still holds a 19 minute lead going into Day 4. The reports from the desert are telling that the heat is brutal but on top of that, they are experiencing all sorts of bugs…Biting gnats that are leaving welts on the competitors.

Day 4 & 5 is a 52 mile run. This may be where the race is won or lost. They get 2 days to finish the 52 miles and the earlier you finish the more rest you get. Day 6 is a final 26.2 to the finish and if you win and finish under 24 hours, there is $1000 with your name on it.

Good Luck Scott!
