     Notes by Julie Arter

     "After a few years absence, Old Pueblo 50 Mile Endurance Run was re-vitalized by
Race Director Duane Arter with resounding success. The race started and finished at
Kentucky Camp, a turn of the century mining camp being restored by the Forest Service.
The course is very scenic with panoramic views, carpets of desert poppies and oak covered
trails.
    The run was a woman's sweep with women finishing one, two and three. Pam Reed ran a
great run winning overall.  Second went to Honey Albrecht followed closely by Ruth Zollinger.
The men's winner was Ron Harding. KentuckyCamp came alive as runners enjoyed burgers
and chili at the finish. Many thanks to all the volunteers who gave so generously of their time
to make this run a success. Special thanks goes to Susan Gimbal, Chris Fall, Tim Varner,
Chuck Frame, Margaret Mason, Rich Guth, Ross Zimmerman, Bob and Mary Alice Bachani,
Jennifer and Enrique Aviles, John Mendola and Family, Pam Gaiser, Eric Davis, Ed Sherlock,
John Fendrock, Curt Zacharias, Rebecca and Paul Tyson, and Ron Larson and Family."

   Thanks to Grizz Randall for calling in his results and a brief report of the race.  The weather
was mild and nearly perfect for running (40's).  Grizz was very pleased with the race and the way
it was supported.  I am grinning over the fact that the top 3 were women along with 7th and 8th.
Ultrarunning women RULE!  Grizz and I agree that this must be one of the few sports where
women and men are demonstrating they have equal ability.
