I am about to sign up for the 50K and saw this video on TH-cam. First of all you guys are so cute, LOVE your energy! The video was very inspiring but I’m WAY slower, hoping for seven hours. I’m nervous about getting lost though. I run Bryant all the time, but it sounded confusing on the video. Thank you all again so much 🙏🏾
Thank you so much! I will say that the Long Hunter 50k has a, passionate race director and a lot of course markers but the turnaround points can be confusing. There aren't enough volunteers to highlight each important intersection. The fact that you have some familiarity with the course will give you a huge benefit in being able to keep a mental map of where you are and learning the course will help you anticipate those important landmarks. If you have the opportunity, I'd really recommend bringing some kind of GPS device (your phone or a smartwatch with maps) and hike/bike/run the Jones Mill portion so you have some familiarity with it. That's the section with the greatest opportunity to get lost. If you have the budget, a map enabled smart watch is a game changer. But we didn't have one when we ran the race. And, hey, if you do manage to get lost in classic ultra running tradition, that extra distance is considered "bonus miles" and something for you to wear with pride when you cross the finish line. Good luck!
I just found you guys on IG, (Followed), tracked you to the YT, (Liked 👍🏼, and subscribed 😉) I have to say, I LOVED THIS VIDEO!! I've done 10Ks [not since HS and college 🙄] but I remember what all it takes... Wow, 50K !! 😮 🎉🎉 to you guys 🎉🎉🎉 As for videoing while running, 🫨 I give you both tremendous credit. And the editing, adding in the aerial view of the course, trail marked in red, was brilliantly done!! 🎉🥳🎉 I wish there was a way to have more people watch and comment, but right now I don't know anyone else who runs/ran. I will link to this when I get my Blog up and running 🤞🏻 Thanks for a Super Great video, and a glimpse of the Long Hunter 50K!! 😊
Thank you very much! This certainly was an extra involved project to train, capture, and edit but a delight to share. We have even better cameras for our next race. I hope you’ll enjoy it as well when we finally post that. 😅
