Movie Night!

Last summer a good friend of mine accomplished something utterly amazing, traveling from Durango to Denver in a little over 8 days and breaking the record for the Colorado Trail. Scott Jaime is the guy I'm talking about and his adventure was captured by Matt Trappe. If you have been running Ultra's for any amount of time you already know what a great guy Scott is and if you haven't seen Matt's photography well then you are missing out (check his site if you don't believe me).

Running the Edge - The Colorado Trail

There are two showings for us in Utah along the Wasatch Front, Ogden and Salt Lake City. For other showings check Matt's site.

• Ogden Info: Friday March 28th, 7:30pm at Peery Egyptian Theater. Tickets $12, Facebook event
• Salt Lake City Info: Saturday March 29th, 7:30pm at Brewvies. Tickets $12, Facebook event

Scott and Matt will both be on hand and there will be plenty of schwag given away. Don't miss out on a great night!

"In 2010, four of the greatest undefeated mountain runners on earth toed the starting line at the Western States 100-mile endurance run, the oldest and most prestigious 100-mile foot race in the world.

'Unbreakable: The Western States 100' follows the four lead men on this amazing journey. Hal Koerner, two time defending Western States champion, and running store entrepreneur from Ashland, Oregon. Geoff Roes, undefeated at the 100-mile distance, an organic chef from Juneau, Alaska. Anton Krupicka, undefeated in every ultramarathon he has ever started, a graduate student living in Boulder, Colorado. Kilian Jornet, the young mountain runner and two time Ultra-trail du Mont-Blanc champion, from Spain.

While their lives may be quite different, the goal is the same: win the Western States 100-mile run. A win will require breaking the course record and running the fastest time in the history of the race. An epic showdown ensues, from Squaw Valley, CA in Lake Tahoe, up though the high snow covered Sierra Nevada Mountains, down through the extreme heat of the American River Canyons and finishing in Auburn, CA.

Though all four are undefeated, three must break and only one can remain Unbreakable."

Movie Night: Unbreakable

This post is directed at runners along the Wasatch Front. 

The MRC would like to bring the movie Unbreakable to the big screen here in Salt Lake City, specifically Brewvies. One drawback with Brewvies is that everyone would have to be 21. As of now the ticket price would be $10 and would include door prizes such as, shoes, sunglasses and race entries among other prizes. The ticket price could go down, but will not go up. We are looking to have the showing by the first week in March or so and it would be on a Thursday night.
