Drift less Discovery 50k with a friend (1 June)
Considering Boulder Beast, insert fall/winter 100k here, local shorter trail races, etc...still a work in progress.
Oh wow you have heaps planned!! Go you! I'm hoping I can register for the Canadian Death Race 125km in August 2019 but registrations aren't open yet, and I'm not sure how quickly they fill up 😬 I still need to look at the rest of 2019 and find some more smaller distance races!
Hey folks! Looks like lots of awesome running coming up for you all. Right now I'm try to rest up and get back to some consistent and enjoyable fall running and will be entering the Hardrock 100 and Western States 100 lotteries in a few weeks here...no luck getting through in either last year so here's hoping! If those fall through I'm looking at the Bighorn 100 in Wyoming in June and possibly the Red Hot 55k in Moab in February. Happy Trails and good luck this weekend Matt!
@Nathan Johnson I ran the Run Rabbit Run 100 miler last year for my Hardrock qualifier and the Never Summer 100k this year for WSER since I needed one again for that race. Hardrock gives you two years for one qualifier.
I have the 50K at TNF in November but will need to sit it out due to a recent stress fracture. I likely will volunteer instead. Nothing on the calendar for 2019 but I'm hoping to run a couple of 50Ks and one longer race. I also would like to do a couple of 6-hour events, as this seems like an easier way to get in really long training runs.
I am returning to Scotland in September to do the Skyline Scotland again. Probably the Mamores VK and hopefully (if I get in as it is a vetted event) the Glencoe Skyline.
I am looking at some bigger 75K - 100K races in the Alps (Austria, Switzerland) for the summer but still haven't decided. I might also go to the UK as they have some amazing races there pretty much happening all the time.
My 2019 main race will (hope to be) the Eiger Ultra Trail in Grindelwald (Switzerland). Registration opens on Wednesday! All the other races will pivot around this one. Anyone planning to do the Eiger as well?
Completed Lantau 70 here in Hong Kong two weeks ago. Next up is Action Asia's Lantau 27km in December. Then building up to Lavaredo Ultra trail in June 2019 with the Nine Dragons 50 miler in Feb (we'll see) and TransLantau 100km in March.
Yes!! You are going to rock those races.
I have a local 50k this weekend to test out the rib and then TNF 50 in 4 weeks!
2019 is still being planned.
Bull Run Run (volunteering or running...tbd)

Nice! What qualifiers did you run for Hardrock and WSER?

Aiming for a BQ at CIM this year before switching focus to the trails in 2019. Best wishes for everyone's races!
I plan on entering the 2019 WS lottery. Got my qualifier this year at IMTUF!
Wildwood Trail marathon Dec 2 this year.
Potawatomi 50 mile April 7
Burning River 100 July 27
Happy running everyone!

Highly recommend a 6-hour event! I did a 6 hour, overnight, trail race this summer and it was probably the best training run I did all year.
Excellent recommendations. I just signed up for the 6-hour night option at the Pulse Endurance Runs in Boise on 3/22/19.
I finally have a race calendar to post.

Finally entered the lotteries for WSER and Hardrock this morning...now time to wait 'til Dec. 1 to find out!
Good luck
Now that TNF is out of the picture I will be racing at Bandera 100k. Hope to see those of you running it out there!
I'm finally set for my two main races in the Spring.
The Bel Monte 50 miler - Lyndhurst, VA The Hellbender 100 (100 miler - my first) - Asheville, NC Super stoked, super nervous about the 100 miler
Missed the draw for the CCC this year. I still have good stuff on my plate in early Spring.
