For the past three years I have competed at the McNaughton Park 150 mile event in Pekin, IL in April. In the past, every mile I run has been in preparation for that one event. There is now a new event to train for.
Andy Weinberg (the former race director from Pekin's race) has moved to Vermont and is putting on a "McNaughton Park" trail run in May. I have officially signed up for McNaughton Park 200 miler in Vermont which starts at 6 PM, Thursday May 6, 2010. I will be properly trained and have a super crew that is willing to support me. It is not too early to think about your 2010 plans. Please think about competing in this event. You will not be disappointed I am sure. There is also a 100 and 150 mile event. It is a 10-mile looped course with an aide station at mile 5/10. For many of you Pekin, IL veterans - I am told by Andy that there are NO WATER CROSSINGS.
I have also spoken to David Goggins about this - he may be training to compete at this as well.

Once an official race website is available, I will post it.
All the best -
Ryan
