JFK 50mileUltra, 13miles of which on the AT

[John B]

Interesting video link. The race starts with the hardest part first -- 2 on a road, then about 13 miles on the AT, then 26 miles along a river, then 8 on a road.

The nation's oldest ultra.

More trivia -- Pres. Teddy Roosevelt required his officers to run/walk 50 miles in 20 hrs. to keep their commission. That's pretty cool -- bet it'd be a helluva challenge for today. That's how JFK got the idea for a 50.
