"While the run was tougher, runners were effusive in their praise of the new course which brought them up and over the east shoulder of Beaver Creek Mountain on some of the resort’s system of singletrack and down into the Village to finish at the main lift. A superb way to end six fantastic days in the Rockies. The weather cooperated serving up a light cloud cover which kept temperatures down and runners comfortable on a another long day on the trails

As the closing party went on and runners were safely in the banquet hall, the skies finally opened and a high mountain thunderstorm pounded down on Beaver Creek. But inside, the story telling after another epic year in the mountains had begun and registration had opened for the next chance to take on the Run of a Lifetime in 2012."
