Zumbro 100 Ultra Marathon

Runner Testimonials

We get tons of emails from our runners after each event, this is just some of them:

“I just wanted to say thank you all your hard work. You’ll probably receive 99 emails like this (44 100-mile starters + 55 50-mile starters). If you don’t, you should. This was my first 50 miler. Let’s just say I’ll never forget it. All the little things did not go unnoticed. See you at Sawtooth this fall, and hopefully at many races in between.”
“Thanks for putting on such a great event. The course was far and away from anything I could have predicted or imagined it would be like. The volunteers were remarkable, as well as the course markings.  I have alot of work to prepare for coming up for the rest of the races in the series [Gnarly Bandit Ultra Series] but I have a feeling my first will always be the most bittersweet.”
“I just wanted to say what a nice job you did with this race.  I cannot imagine the planning that goes in to such an event and I had a great day and it looks like many others did as well.  Very nicely marked course, great aid and volunteers.  Thank you especially for taking care of all of us.  I was trying to figure out how I was going to get a locksmith out to the course on a Saturday after I dropped my car key ‘somewhere’; thanks for taking care of my Honda key for the remainder of my race.  Just goes to show you that ‘running people’ are pretty incredible all around.  A friend has been trying to get me to run this race.  The midnight 50 mile start was indeed an ‘epic’ event.”
“Thank you for putting on such a great event!  My night running experience is pretty limited and you had the course perfectly marked.  Portions of the first and second loop were some of my best experiences running in my life. The 3 loop course was a more of a self purification exercise giving myself ample time to categorize what I should be doing better in my life.  But that is part of why we keep going.  The volunteers were great, the aid stations were supplied very well.  I could not think of anything that I wanted that was not available (except fresh legs).  The whole event had a very cool vibe to it. Thank you very much!!”
“Thank you again for all your hard work! The volunteer’s were top notch, as was everything about this race. I can’t believe I’m already saying (quietly!) that I’ll come back!”
