Headlands 100

100 Miles – The Headlands Hundred 7 Aug 2010

From USCG Running Club

USCGRC member Skip Crockett takes to the hills for this exciting race.  Having completed multiple 50 mile races, the PACAREA member is one of the most versatile runners in the chapter also competing in the Holiday Mile and PAUSATF XC Grand Prix.  Skip keeps it real, he recently competed in a fitness challenge on Treasure Island.  If you’re out today feeling bad while running a 10 miler, chin up you could be running 100 miles!

Update (Race Recap):  

As the sun rose over the Golden Gate Bridge, Skip Crockett hobbled down the last mile of his first Headland’s 100. After a day and a night of looping around the Headlands four times on a trail that gained and eventually dropped 5,000 ft per lap, the sight of the finish was pure joy for these ultra harriers. Danny Neverosky, a Naval Post Graduate student, capitalized on his light academic load to train for the one of the most grueling ultras on this planet. Not even a wrong turn around mile 85 would stop Danny from his destiny. In the end, both runners earned the coveted “Headlands 100 Coaster” and of course the right to look down on mere marathoners! Way to go lads!  Read a full account here
