I entered the Bimbler’s Bluff 50K (31 miles) ultra marathon as my first attempt at any distance beyond the standard 26.2m (42Km), of which I’ve completed five. It was held on Sunday, October 25, 2009 on the trails of the nature preserves north of Guilford, CT. Guilford is a small town along Interstate 95 about two hours from my place in Manhattan.

The race was, in many ways, a “pumped-up” version of last year’s race. In 2008, the inaugural running of the Bimblers Bluff 50K Trail Race was nearly flawless. This year, the good parts got even better, and new goodies were added. A very practical AND stylish technical long sleeve shirt was a nice surprise. A new custom designed Buff made for an appreciated companion to last year’s finishers’ award. Goodies in our race bag, handouts from the major sponsor (Poron), and a carb-load meal the night before all added to the “value” of the race. [Read more…] about The Bluff 50K Race – A Runner’s Report
The morning after the race I was out clearing the last course markers from the Bluff course. It was another beautiful morning, one that matched the previous day when 101 runners crossed the start for the second running of the Bimbler’s Bluff 50K.

To date, this will be my longest race. I’ll be running the relay today with Iggy. We’re calling ourselves ‘Team Bimblettes’. I’ve been very excited about participating and the day certainly did not disappoint. It’s been quite the training plan… Bites of the Bluff, multiple falls, bee stings, fun runs… All leading up to race day. [Read more…] about Not a gecko in sight – Allstate runs the relay
Runner Joe Danyliw wrote about his experience at this year’s Bimbler’s Bluff on his blog From Joe to Ironman. Looks like the Bluff was not quite what he had originally expected!
