RUNNING THE RUT
Runners looking for an extreme
challenge headed to Big Sky,
Mont., on Sept. 5–7 to take part in
The Rut Mountain Runs. Part of the
Skyrunner World Series and the U.S.
Skyrunner Series, the weekend of
events included a vertical kilometer
uphill race, and 11K, 25K and 50K
mountain races. All of the courses
were technically daunting, but the
50K race might be the most difficult
one in the U.S. Held on the rocky
terrain of Big Sky ski resort between
7,500 and 11,166 feet above sea
level, the route was crazy steep
(up and down), with 20,000 feet of
vertical gain and loss, and plenty
of exposure above tree line, plus
off-trail sections, loose rocks and
rockfall danger. “From mile 12.5 to
22.5 of the 50K, it is so, so, so steep,
technical and hard,” says co-race
director Mike Foote. “Good or bad,
people are going to remember it.”
Italy’s Franco Collé was the toughest
of the tough, winning in 5:16:58,
while Sweden’s Emelie Forsberg
won the women’s race in 6:25:44.
The 25K course wasn’t exactly a walk
in the park. At right, Paul Terranova
of Austin, Texas, runs along a rocky
ridge on the southwestern flank of
Lone Mountain en route to finishing
32nd in the 25K race in 4:28:10.
