Mt Baker Ultra

Imagine taking all the less interesting parts of climbing--the approach, low angle glacier walking, the descent--and doing it for 15+ hours straight! Somehow it's actually pretty fun.

If you're a climber wanting to do an ultra it's a good race because it has the mountain component to keep things more entertaining and the pace is a lot slower than other 50 milers. It's in June so you have plenty of time to get ready. Based on some cool history too if you are not aware watch this: http://themountainrunners.com/.

Suffering on low angle slogs was always why I wasted time on mountain tops.

 

Looks fun!
