the guy who started it competed several years in the Alaskan Wilderness Classic and wanted to bring a similar event to the states, he just happened to live close to the Bob Marshall complex so it worked out pretty well
I started my running "career" very late (mid 50's) so I don't think I have any 100 mile races (save multi-day events) in me, but heck you never know
best of luck with a full recovery!
Better late than never!!! I hope Im running strong when Im in my mid 50s. Recovery is going well, I can do workouts without pain and Im 100% off the medicine and back working full time again so I Im seeing daylight with getting over this injury.
