I have run Rattlesnake several times. I takes a while for the results to be posted but if you email Dennis the director he will email the results directly to you. He is a gem.

I imagine the results will be posted on the event’s website eventually. That’s another beautiful thing about small ultra events: no chip timing…I even overheard a couple of the race organizers before the start looking for a watch.

Gotta run,

Vince, just had to share another quote from the race. After moving through the 2nd aid station while getting passed on one very long slow climb a runner responded to my comment of this being the 1st time I was experiencing the Rattlesnake 50k with “yeah, she’s a rascal”.
Classic is all I could think.

Thanks so much for the comment Ricky! I’m sorry to hear that the race might not be run next year. The course was quite beautiful and challenging. Hopefully this is only a rumor and the race will continue for many years. If not, I’m glad I had the pleasure of experiencing West Virginia ultra running, specifically in the Kanawha State Forest. Congratulations on your first ultra! I hope you’re hooked now! I know I was after my first ultra.

Gotta run,
Vince

I would also like to say that this race was awesome.
This was my first ultra ever in my race, and I finished in 5:10:48 and in 8th place.
After the race, I heard several people talking that this race might not even happen next year…and I will be very upset if that is the case. I am a local runner from Nitro/Saint Albans, WV…which is only 20 minutes away from Kanawha State Forest…and I would be glad to help out in anyway possible. I even host my own road race in November so I might be of great assistance.

I had a blast!! I cannot wait until my next Ultra…that is after this soreness goes away lol.
