1st Annual Race

                            RACE REPORT from Director Gailon Gentry:

   The 1st Annual Tampico Grey Rock 50K Trail run was a huge small success. Small only because we had eight registrations and seven runners. Huge because everyone seemed to have a good time and all runners who entered the wilderness exited the wilderness in one piece, more or less. One runner with a GPS reported an amazing find in elevation. Seems our little run starts at 4200', climbs to 6200', descends back to 4200', climbs to 6500' then repeats the process in reverse. Grey Rock 50K Trail Run has over 6000' of climb done in three different stages. As you can see from the attached pictures the view is truly unbeatable.

Many, many thanks to our volunteers. We would have never found the turn around point without Sandy's help tromping around in the woods. Thank you to Bill and Virginia for taking care of the Trail Head check point. You're the best! A huge round of thanks to the West Valley Fire Department for 10+ volunteers and an ambulance ALL day! Thank you so much! I am so glad we didn't need you. Thanks to our camera man, Eric for some great shots. Next year, Eric, next year.

Next year the toughest little 50K in Eastern Washington will be better and much bigger.
