From ultra runner JT: The second annual Ponderous Posterior Fat Ass 50 K will be held this Saturday, January 14, 2012.  Start and end is at 321 North 31st Street. The event is free and open to anyone with courage enough to try it.

The course will go in the opposite direction as last year, and will include a climb up the Incline instead of Barr Trail.  In a nutshell: Red Rock Canyon, Intemann Trail, Incline, Experimental Forest, Longs Ranch Road, Waldo Canyon, Williams Canyon, Rampart Range Road, Garden of the Gods.  Roughly 30 miles.  Lots of snow and ice.  Shorter versions available, we will have maps at the start.

There will be an aid station at the Waldo Canyon parking lot, just past the halfway point.  A truck will leave at 8:30 a.m. for Waldo. We will be providing water and PBR, so if you think you'll need anything else please bring a drop bag and throw it in the truck.

Start times will be at 7 a.m., 8 .am. and 9 a.m.

We will have basic refreshments (cheetos) at the finish.  Colorado Running Company has donated some beer, but nobody from Team CRUD will be upset if you bring a sixer from your local brewery to share.
