Maybe not 2005, but…
The Jay Marathon looks to be the biggest thing I’ve yet found that I want to face. If you read through this site, it’s ASTOUNDING what they put you through on this course. Does your marathon have a full mile of running through a brook? Does yours have a rope crossing on a river? Do you get to run 5 miles in the mud?
The site says that if you can’t finish a marathon in 4 hours, don’t bother. Most people double or TRIPLE their PR when they run this course.
There are personal accounts that show just how killer this is.
So, of course, I want to go.

Sounds lovely. I think that will wait a few years for me though - I want to get my speed down first, then move on to the more challenging trails.
Oh my gosh, that makes me tired just thinking about it.
There are some ultra-events in Eastern Oregon/Washington that have similar feats of endurance–would you like me to keep an ear open for them? vj
That sounds so awesome. Where do I sign up. Err…maybe I should run another one first. But sounds awesome anyway…:-)
