Castle Peak 100k Recap – By JoAnn Ellero
It’s 11 PM. When I look ahead to where the trail is marked, I can’t tell if the lights I see above are headlamps from other runners or stars in the California sky. I shine my light to the left and hear a voice: “grab the rope……welcome to the Palisades” Three hours earlier, I […]
Castle Peak 100K Recap by Dan Brounstein
It was a bit of a strange prep week before the race. I wasn’t that nervous and to be honest, I hadn’t really prepped mentally like I had in the past for other first-time race distances. I was in great running shape, but had no idea what I was going to do for nutrition, pace, […]

Divine Death Valley
Exhilarated, if tired, following my stunning solo desert trail adventure, I half-heartedly looked for the dirt road turnoff to camp for the night. Death Valley is one of the few National Parks that allows some limited “dispersed camping.” But before I knew it, I had driven past the unmarked road and was soon exiting Death […]
