El Scorcho Finally

After 400 runners, 500 spectators, 200 burritos, over 100 pounds of pasta, 80 degree weather, 12 hours in the park preparing the course, 1000's of gallons of water, hundreds of Nuun caplets, oppressive humidity, a hike from the parking lot to the race start, tons of incredible volunteers, gallons of coffee, some great off duty police officers, great medical staff, and the parks department going above and beyond...........El Scorcho Dos is done!! I will write a more detailed summary once I recover from being up and running around Trinity Park for the past 36 hours. Let's just say El Scorcho Dos was a great time!

Thanks for putting on a great event! I think I was the last one out on the course and the support was just great. I can't wait to come back next year!

You guys put on one heck an event. This was my first ultra (with no marathon exp). Your volunteers were AWESOME!! Not once did they stop cheering. Coach Jim was a great help. Looking forward to #3. Thanks again.

Jason, you guys did great! I see you have made notes of a few comments here and there so I won't repeat them. As a spectator cheering on my daughter I can say the weather was great and the music was great and I really like watching my daughter go by every 28minutes or so. I took pictures and cheered everyone on. The small trail may get boring for runners but it was nice for spectators! I will see you for tres! Adios amigo!
