Wow, is this a runner's dream or what??? I remember past city runs that I did that had the beer reward at the end. What fun that was. I run a lot of trails, high altitude and straight up for the first half...the dogs and I really enjoy the turn-around to come down for the second half. Do any runners have problems with your altitude??
Great pictures, too, Charlie!
Altitude can definately be a problem for those not used to it - downtown Steamboat is around 7000 ft. Acclimation is key!
