What an incredible day, waking up before sunrise, hiking to the Escarpment to cheer on every runner, then chasing the race all the way to Foresthill and the finish line.

The Escarpment

The day began in the pre-dawn darkness, hiking up to the Escarpment to catch the first runners as they made their way through the early miles of the Western States Endurance Run. The atmosphere was electric with anticipation as spectators gathered to witness the beginning of this legendary 100-mile ultramarathon.
