The Arkansas Traveller 100 has been named as the alternative event in the 2008 Grand Slam following the cancellation of the Western States. The race will be held in the Ouachita National Forest on October 4th – 5th, 2008
The Bimbler's Sound
Truth lies within
there you go, they wouldn’t let you off the hook that easy … plus, you wouldn’t want to run seven 100-milers, four is good enough … or would you? take a look into the mirror and see if MrBimble’s eyes get you … trust him
I know what you are thinking. As a purist you are not going to feel you did the Grand Slam without doing Western States. I doubt that the Arkansas Traveller can compare to it. It is however a great feat to accomplish. Think of it as a Grand Slam trial series for the real thing next year.
