The Stormy

The STORMY Trail Race is a trail running event in Squamish. BC, that includes a 100 mile solo ultramarathon, a 50 mile solo ultramarathon and a 50 mile team relay.

STORMY is a not-for-profit endeavor. The race, in its 10th year, follows portions of the famous Test of Metal mountain bike course with variations to enhance the running experience. The course is 50 miles long with 4500+ feet of climbing.

Compared to the Hard Rock 100, it’s a piece of cake.  It’s more technical than Western States.  If you’re a flat-lander, you’d be vertically-challenged. Most would agree that it’s a “runnable” course with a few bad-ass hills.

Start

That way

Finish line nears

Finish line joy

Ah ... lying down never felt so good

Whew .. feet in the air
