A huge congrats to Jonathan Dvorak for a second successful 50k ultra this month. This race takes place about 3 hours east of Vancouver and offers two other race distances in addition to the ultra – 13km Lightning Race and the 27km Endurance Race. The race is hard, but features beautiful lakes and vistas, along single track. The race is challenging due to the climbing. The upside is that the trails are runnable and not too technical.
It was another amazing performance for Jonathan, taking first place in his age group and a 7th place overall finish. The race suggests most runners will finish between 5:30 and 10 hours. As of publishing time, the race results were not yet posted. Jonathan believes his time was around 6:20. Here is what he had to say about it. “This race in Manning Park was the BEST and by far the most fun! The views were stunning. There was a BBQ after the race and a swim in the lake.” If you are wondering about the elevation, have a look at the course profile with the high point at 2,300 meters – not for the faint at heart.
