Yesterday was our 11th Annual Thacher Park Trail Running Festival, held on a gorgeous summer day with a couple of hundred runners from 13 states racing anywhere from 10K to 50K!

The aid stations have your staples of water and Nuun - but also bananas, clementines, gummy bears, pretzels & more! as they say. :) (If you've never run an ultra[marathon] or been in one that does, do note that aid stations are truly mini 'rest stops' with plenty to munch on.)

In related news, we've got PICS. In fact, Pete Rossi, who has been helping at ARE races since our first one EVER back in '03, was on hand to take nearly 5,000 pics of everyone. Check them out here:
