Dances with Dirt - Gnaw Bone

• Dances with Dirt Gnaw Bone made for a great first trail run and ultra marathon experience!
• By far, the coolest race I have ever done!

• This race is put on by a group of psychos from Michigan
• Danced with dirt, slopped in mud, ran through a river...
• Comfort zones are for wimps
• To put it plainly, I got everything I paid for at Dances with Dirt 
  
  

Dances with Dirt - Devil's Lake

• I would be tempted to do the race next year, just to get to see the view again
• ...one of the gnarliest 50ks they'd done
• Comparatively, road races are rather prosaic
• EXTREME 10 indeed!
• It's an @$$-kicking good time!
  
  

Dances with Dirt - Hell

• This course was made to test your resolve and get you dirtyA hundred percent reason to remember the name
• Why run 50 miles? To be completely honest, I don't know.

• I should have known there was something funny in the air
• The quest for the Belt Buckle comes to an end!
