See below.<br />Aid Stations: Each Aid Station will have water, Red Bull, Clif Bars, Clif Shot Gel, Coke, candy and other snacks to keep you fueled. <br />I must have missed the Red Bull, candy and other snacks that were promised but did sneak a few potato chips.<br />I wonder if the leading sponsor, AUDI, will become aware of many of the races shortcomings and make improvements. <br />Agree that the course seemed to become more poorly marked later in the race.<br />I got a sense that many people were doing double and triple duty and may have been overwhelmed, something that the sponsors need to address.<br />Sorry to say I loved the course and I live 300 ft above sea level.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184820795110194108.post-23384000933021991092015-07-25T09:22:26.696-07:002015-07-25T09:22:26.696-07:00I agree about the aid stations, not much there.

The thing about that which irks me the most is that the Aspen Backcountry Marathon people did the best they could to clear the trails (yes I helped) but nothing was done for the runners in this race. What is even more infuriating is I would bet all the cash in my pocket that those same trees on the Congo Trail WILL be cleared out before the PO4 MTB in a couple of weeks.

The last aid station didn't even have anyone there, so I am not sure how they were going to enforce a cut-off time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
