What’s going on?

Things have been a little slow as of late but we are revving up again. This weekend we have a few races on tap. Josh Brimhall will be in the Great Northwest to run the beautiful trails of the White River 50. You always hear great stories of this one and we are thinking Josh will come home with one of his own. In the majestic Wasatch Mountains, Nick Clark will take on the SpeedGoat 50k. Mr. Meltzer has put together the toughest 50k in the world- just my opinion….okay and many others. This course has some serious vertical! Rounding out the fun, I will be in the SwanCrest Mountain Range for the inaugural Swan Crest 100. Looks like it will be a sweet 100 miler with 48 new friends.

Stay tuned for results and in August we will have a new contest and a feature you don’t want to miss.

After a weekend off of racing, we are back with a couple of dandies. In Marcola, Oregon- Matt Lonergan will be running the Shotgun Trail Blast 50k. Here is the description from the race site- If you love trails, trees, hills, mud, and more mud, then this is the race for you. The scenery is fantastic, the course is challenging and the experience will be unforgettable. Now doesn’t that just sound like fun?

The other race is the Buffalo Run on beautiful Antelope Island in Utah- offered up in 50 mile, 50k and 25k distances. The race name is true to form as the island is stocked with grazing Buffalo. Scott Jaime will toe the line for the 50 mile course and Nick Clark will be hitting the trail for the 50k. Both races should be fast! And just to make sure we hit the trifecta, I will be meandering with a few hundred runners on the 25k course.

Good Luck to everyone………..

Team Run at Chautauqua

Here is a little video taken on a team run during the summit. It was tricky taking video because of the slick trails so sorry for being so shaky.

Valentine’s Weekend- Race Time

Aric Manning — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 20:25:31 +0000

This weekend, Josh Brimhall goes for his 3rd win in 3 years at the Pemberton 50k. In 2008 Josh finished with a time of 3:21:39, last year he took first in 3:30:03. What does 2010 hold? Good Luck Josh. Have fun and run hard!

I am heading down to Moab for the Moab Red Hot. Hoping for some dirt on the trails and to see some familiar faces.

Good Luck to everyone running this weekend—-even those snowshoeing back east!

A couple races on tap for Team PI-Smith

This weekend Justin Ricks travels to Vail, Colorado for the Vail Mountain games.

Also, Scott Jaime travels back to his old stompin grounds in Utah to tackle the Squaw Peak 50. Team Director, Aric Manning, will join Scott on the start line as well. Should prove to be a fantastic race.

Good Luck to all!
