Anyone ran High Hope ranch?
I'm pacing a buddy doing the high hope 100k (more for me getting free miles on a race setting than for him). I threw in a morning 10k race for me.
How are the trails? Good race?
For those that are interested in a recap
My buddy cancelled on the 100k so I upped to the 25k.
Not sure if anyone here has ran High Hope but it was decent. Beautiful wildflowers, 50% was grass jeep trails. not much single track. They had a 5k loop and a 10k loop. So the 25k was Big, Little, Big.
It was extremely hot and there were a LOT of DNFs at the 100k level. Audrey, a 16yr old was leading the 200k until about 2/3 of the way through. She ended up getting second.
I've only had 3 trail experiences, so far Wildflower at Bastrop SP is by and far the best race I've been to. I'd follow that up with High Hope, then Rattler in a distant 3rd.
I have not raced, but run Hill Country State Park and I'd put that at 1B.
