McNaughton 100

Date: April 11-12. Location: Pekin, IL

The McNaughton Park Trail Runs are firmly established as a premier ultra event ... the 2007 run had in excess of 200 entries from all over the United States and Europe. Andy Weinberg, race director, always pushing the limits himself (ask him about his double ironman finish) is allowing runners to push themselves again this year. Did you tackle the 30 mile race at McNaughton in the past and thought to yourself that you could move up to the 50? Let’s hope so, because 50 miles is the shortest race available! You’ve done a 50 ... is there a 100 miler in you? We’ve got the only 100-mile trail run in Illinois. And for you 100-mile studs ... in 2008 you can test yourself with the only 150 mile ultra race in the United States!

The North Face Hardcore Challenge at Silverton Mtn

Date: April 19. Location: Silverton, CO

http://www.cosmicski.com/

The Silverton Course is the most challenging course of any COSMIC event. The Recreation division will use the yellow option. As of Wednesday, April 18th, we're aiming to take the Race division down Billboard #1 on the second descent - it's steep and narrow at the top but coverage is decent. If weather (wind) is bad on Saturday morning, the Race division course will likely climb Tiger #1 out of Tiger Main for the second climb and repeat the climb from the top of the lift to Tiger Claw. Both Race and Recreation division courses finish with a jog up the access road back to the start and a free beer.

The North Face is proud to announce its parntership with The Hardrock 100 as the the official apparel & gear supplier.

It crosses 11 mountain passes and summits 14,000-foot Handies Peak. Much of the race takes place in the rarified air above 11,000 feet.
