Nice job, thanks

Congratulations, Craig! What a strong finish! Amazing job!

Great job on your race! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your filming throughout the entire course and showing us all the beauty of the race; I’m running it next week and glad to see a perfect preview of what I’m getting myself into!

Thanks for all your race and training videos, I really enjoy them! Curious about your current running shoes and how many miles you typically get from them?

Enjoyed watching this loop that you did. I'd like to try it soon (but will mostly be hiking, ha). Question for you; do people have to cross busy roads to get from East Bear Creek to West Bear Creek? I've looked at several maps and can't see where any bike/walking paths go under or above streets to connect the two areas of the park. I try to avoid crossing busy streets as drivers are so bad these days. Thanks for filming, as always :)

CCC, exciting! I was hoping to get in this year but missed out. Hopefully next year. I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of CCC videos but I loved the “Kelp & Fern” video for the quality as well as this one from “Pistachio” who showed the aid stations very well (choice of snacks and layout) as well efficient aid station usage: czcams.com/video/wfmBEU9IMcc/video.htmlsi=05YWy5YdGXiZ5aoY

Have you done the arches 50k ? I’m trying to decide which one for my first ultra.

Keep at it!

Moving to springs for about a month starting July8, primarily to train , do the never summer 60k. Would love to connect with you to show me some of your routes and just have a chat please and thank you. Also what’s your Strava please ?

New pack? For Europe? Nice sunny day.

I like going down SK at nautical twilight like you did in the video. It balances the earliest start you can get without sacrificing views. I believe the cars at the SK trailhead were employees and backpackers with backcountry permits not people doing the “highway” of SK-NK-BA trails. I park my car at BA trailhead and call the Xanterra taxi so when I top out there is no fuss getting where I need to go. They are turning off the water between July 8-12, I am wondering if they will finally fix that break in the main you showed bubbling up through the trail. I always enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing.

That’s a lot of climb for 10 miles

It'll be my first 50k and your video has helped inspire me.

That looks like a nice place to run and that weather sounds lovely. Colorado looks like a nice place to spend summers. Good luck to you and Laura in your races.

I've been watching this video several times, as I am doing 50K this year. Great finish time. Congratulations!!! Hope to meet you if you are doing this year :)

I see you got a new pack too! Nice!

The views above the clouds is so neat! Great run!

Incredible views and an awesome journey! Well done running a 50k in the canyon.

Beautiful area!!!

Congrats on doing those canyon trails! I've camped at the campground where you were camped at and did some hiking but that was years ago and I don't think I went very far. I also watched your videos of Red Rock Canyon outside Vegas. Also hiked that area years ago - great place to go for sure. Great videos, thanks.

I like the trails at Cheyenne Mtn SP because one can always loop around and get back to the clean bathrooms - ha! Well done getting up to the top of Cheyenne - I hope to do it someday.

I'm hoping to get on at least some sections of the trails you were on for this run. Great job and glad you scared off that bear lol. Question; was the parking lot a pay or free lot? Manitou area is such a challenge with the pay lots and tons of tourists :) Great job on the run and filming, thank you!

Nice job !

That's awesome that you're training for CCC! Best of luck. I wasn't expecting you to fall on the trail (scared me. Haha)! Hope you recovered well. Great job out there!

Beautiful views, we have nothing like that here in Australia. I hope you are doing ok after your fall.

Well done on that 20 plus miler! Funny you mentioned getting a bit lost in Stratton Open Space.... I have only been there once, last spring. I did a fairly long hike and got lost a few times but eventually found my way. I found the markers and the map a bit confusing, ha!

I'm trying to get thru some videos in my watch later playlist. Nice run! You do such a great job filming your runs. They provide great references for me so that I can find those trails. Have yet to get on the 7 bridges and associated trails but hope to soon :)

Your so blessed to have beautiful trails close to your home.

I did 7 Bridges, Jones Park & Kineo right when I got off work at 3pm yesterday just after you…one of my favorite routes.

You can make your own window blockers by buying black foam posterboard from the Dollar Tree . For under 15 dollars and a few hours of your time, you can trace out the shape of your windows and then cut them to fit. It's a great temporary solution.

You did great 👍 I saw you on the course.

Craig, you are an inspiration. Thanks for sharing your race!!

hi, my name is Neil and you quickly recorded me on the run video clip 20:49. I passed you on the way out. I was bib number 95. I finished the 50 miler at 12:44:53. I just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS! It was a tough run with all the mud and rain! WE DID IT!

Great work! I was out there on Saturday as well and must have seen you at some point!! It was quite the muddy and wet day so nice work with the extra challenge. Thanks for sharing your journey!

Congratulations what a strong effort, much RESPECT!

Alright! You did it! That lloked like a really solid run. We signed up for Race the Wolf. If it's something you want to do, we have a guest bedroom so lodging is free at least. Hey you'll have an altitude advantage on the steep climbs coming from the Springs.

Stud! That was Awesome!

Hi Craig - great meeting you on the course as well. I was the runner that finished a few minutes after you, and we had the opportunity to sit next to each other at the finish line and chat for a few minutes. Love the video and CZcams channel. Keep posting... and running!

Wow!! Great job

Congratulations on your finish! That's a tough course.

Was a tough day. Nice to meet you on the trail and great job completing that relentless race!

That was some soupy conditions. Great job on persevering. Between DNS and DNF about half the field didn’t make it, that is pretty incredible.

Congrats on finishing strong in the race! Awesome job. Wow - wet & mud for tons of fun, haha. I used to do field work in that area years ago, would fly out from Denver for week or two week long work trips. Enjoyed hiking some of those trails on my days off. Really enjoyed the video, thanks!

Nice job! Thanks for sharing your experience!

Thank you for sharing , my housing situation is extremely unhealthy for me and i don’t have anywhere else to go , it’s nice to know that I can pretty easily camp in my car when I need to get away

Another great video Craig! I always enjoy your positive attitude! I usually watch your videos in the morning while im getting ready for the day because i find them so inspiring and positive! Good luck on the 50!

Go Craig! It's the couple you met on the local trails and ay javelina last fall. Good luck on Lake Sanoma! You're going to crush it! We moved to Sandpoint ID. You should check out Race the Wolf. It's an epic marathon at Schweitzer. It'll feel like a 5k after Lake Sonoma 😅

Great job on your long run! Question; are there any reasonably safe places to park a car in your neighborhood or adjacent to it? I'm trying to avoid the 'car break in' thing as best I can. I can't trail run yet but hoping to get more familiar with trails in that area. I'm limited to shorter hikes w/very short sections of jogging (ha, slogging). Thx again for filming your runs!

Lovely video man, nicely filmed and presented!

Thank you for this video, I am heading to the 100K this year, the video helps a lot :)
