So if you're wondering if it's worth getting up at 3a to climb four miles and 2,200' to watch the start of the original 100 mile trail race that hasn't been run for two years with many of your friends some of whom you hadn't seen in 15+ months, the answer is most definitely "Yes!" #wser #wser2021 #donnerpartymountainrunners #trailrunning #ultrarunning #nosleeptillauburn #westernstates100 (at Western States 100) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQl3tMDLy0k/?utm_medium=tumblr
#Repost @topoathletic with @get_repost ・・・ Did you know 2 out of the top 10 male finishers at Western States last year were wearing Topo shoes? One of them was our extraordinary athlete, Paul Giblin (@pyllon ) and the other was "breakout" athlete Charlie Ware (@char.ware ), who finished 8th! Today, we're excited to publicly welcome Charlie to our elite team of esteemed trail runners. We welcome you to learn more about him via the link in our bio and follow along as we document his road back to #WSER and so much more!

I had the good fortune to be a member of the Western States Sweep Team again last Saturday. I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of this amazing event and have great respect for the runners whose Western States experience literally takes place as far from the front of the pack as possible. Sweepers spend the day with runners who are fighting cutoffs, drawing on every ounce of energy they have to stay in the race, and often are coming to grips with a premature end to a dream they worked for years to make a reality. The efforts of these runners are every bit as inspiring and compelling as those who earn a buckle. #westernstates100 #wser #wser2018 #trailrunning #ultrarunning #ultramarathon #donnerpartymountainrunners (at Western States Endurance Run)
Flashback Friday, to last Sunday. Surreal. ‘Been wearing this all week. 51 years old. Smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years, from about 20-40. Quit smoking at 40, started running at 45. Ran Western States last weekend. Giddyup! Yes, you can.... #wser #westernstates100 #maskorima #squirellsnutbutter #borntorub #runlikeasquirrel #oldguysrule #seeyouinsquaw #aravaiparuntribe #allwedoisrun (at Auburn, California)
