2007 Results - Brian Murray (4:31:46) & Nancy Kleinrock (4:57:20)  With the race back on the classic course, Brian Murray threatened the course record for two laps, finishing with one of the faster times in the history of the race.  Adam Chase (Boulder, CO) and Ed Housel had a close race, finishing 2nd and 3rd respectively.  Nancy Kleinrock had a fine run, finishing under 5 hours in 4th overall.

2006 Results - The big story was the changed course and the challenging weather.  Attacks on hikers by a nesting pair of Goshawks meant the course had to be rerouted.  The new route bypassed a big descent and the biggest climb on the course and should have been significantly faster.  But, heavy rains before and during the race made for slippery climbs and cautious descents.  Todd Baum repeated his 2005 victory, leading four men under 5 hours.  Rebecca Harman repeated her 2005 win and Charles Leonard took the top spot in the 50+ age group.  Click for photos.
