The San Juan Solstice 50M is one of (if not the) hardest 50M
trail races in the country. Run on the trails above Lake City,
CO, 121 people were able to finish this years event. Leading
the way across the finish line were brothers Erik and Kyle
Skaggs (above). The crosses the line together at 8:58:40, a
very fast time considering all the snow that was still on the
course this year. photo by Blake Wood
