Race To The Clouds

I got a number for the Mount Washington Road Race — the Race To The Clouds — on June 19 this year! 7.6 miles with 4650 feet of vertical rise. I’ve been entering the lottery for this event every year for several years, and never got a number until now. The course description says the road has “an average grade of 11.5% with extended sections of 18%, and the last 50 yards is a 22% “wall” to the finish.”

This is gonna be awesome!

Now I just have to get my lard ass in shape…

Hi Allen and Jodi,
I am running in the Race for the Clouds too. Although I've hiked Washington many times I've always wanted to RUN it! If there is space available in your van, I'd love a ride down, if I've still able to sit up that is! BTW, I appreciated the photo of Katadin Summit, I've done Katadin three times, what a great mountain!
Hope we can connect, in any event, have a great run.

Cyclists have an advantage at running and walking uphill. We have higher strength-to-weight ratios in our legs. You'll do great.

I’ll be thinking of you on the 19th. Think: I can, I can, I can!

Good luck, Ed
