    This seems like mellow terrain. Do I really need trail shoes, or are a good cushioned road shoe fine

      Road shoes are good. It's personal preference. Some people run only in trails shoes.

      Some people switch to trail shoes at Beals Point. The trail gets a little rough between Granite Bay and Auburn. Locals like to call it the "meat grinder" lots of rocks and roots on a narrow up and down trail.

      I ran it in some Saucony Cortanas (pretty nice road shoe) and would have liked something a little beefier with some traction for the latter half

      For Way Too Cool 50k, I wore Mizuno Wave Universe 5. For AR 50, I'll wear Mizuno Wave Universe 3 with black Super Feet insoles.

    What is the limit for the number of runners allowed to sign up for this race?
    1. Anne Brown  - December 15, 9:46 AM
      The maximum is 1,200.

      Thank you Anne. Will there be another price increase or will the entry remain $200 until the deadline?
