HQ at Eagle Island State Park by Allen Sandquist

The Pickled Feet 24/12/6 Hour & 100 Mile Runs 2013 took place starting on the 29th March at Eagle Island State Park, 8 miles west of Boise, Idaho. The race directors kindly sent a report and the event results.

Contrary to weather that would normally be expected at the end of March in Idaho, the weekend of the second running of the Pickled Feet events radiated with sunshine and dry warmth, albeit downright chilly just before dawn for the 24 Hour and 100 mile runners. Last year’s event hosted 31 runners for 12 and 24 Hour events. For 2013, we added a 6 Hour and a 100 Mile, for 4 events, with the 12 Hour having a Day or Night option. Thanks to our stellar venue at Idaho’s Eagle Island State Park, we were able to host 95 runners from 15 states and one province with ease. Runners made themselves at home in their own tents and canopies and RVs or made use of the event tent provided by the race to set up their gear.

Runners accessed the top-notch aid station in the covered pavilion every 2.5 miles, with pizza served at midnight and breakfast burritos once morning dawned, along with a couple rounds of popsicles in the warm afternoons and Starbucks coffee for the duration. A bountiful Panda Express Chinese food buffet satisfied all of the runners, families, and volunteers late in the afternoon as the race was ending.

The Pickled Feet race consists of a dirt 2.5 mile loop around the park, bordering the beautiful Eagle Island pond and the Boise River on a combination of soft dirt trails and hard packed dirt road. For the last hour or two of each of the timed races, runners had the option of maximizing their mileage by accumulating miles on a separate .3 mile asphalt loop. Both loops are USATF certified, with the big loop measuring exactly 2.5 miles, meaning the 100 mile is a true 100 mile course. Hundred milers complete 40 laps of the course with a generous 32 hour cutoff, making it a very accessible race for runners who cannot navigate extremely mountainous or technical courses with difficult cutoffs.

All runners went away with nice tech tees and packets, and all finishers received laser engraved Pickled Feet medals. Post-race, all runners achieving the designated ‘milestones’ for each event get customized clothing items, with personalized buckles for the 100 milers. Top finishers in each event received the Idaho State Champion designation with a plush “Spuddy Buddy” potato trophy and a prize packet from  The Pulse Running & Fitness in Meridian, Idaho. Two runners received the race directors’ prerogative awards: Baked Potato (Jeff Black for his repeated revivals and continuations) and Hot Potato (Gary Holloway for upgrading on race day from the 12 hour to the 100 mile and finishing with a smile). This race is part of the Scott Sports Idaho Trail Ultra Series lineup (www.idahotrailultraseries.com), and all runners received schwag from Scott Sports. We also had a tremendous raffle and other support provided by our sponsors: The Pulse Running & Fitness, Scott Sports, Hammer Nutrition, Blessing Plumbing, Allen Sandquist Photography, Springhill Suites by Marriott, Sign Hype, Eagle Island State Park, The Idaho Potato Commission, Rolling H Cycles, The Cascade Project, Dennis Ahern Woodworking, Mark Colton of Planet Tees, Epi Saldana laser engraving, Jeremy Jackson of Double J Ironworks, and Starbucks.

I would like to share a Good Things list from one of our runners Marsha White:

• It was exceptionally well-organized and efficient, from the information on the website to packet pickup to last minute details.
• There were great people here – the race directors were extremely helpful, all of the volunteers were wonderful, and the other runners and walkers were amazingly supportive and friendly. I think there must be a test for cheerfulness in order to move into Idaho. Everyone we met - at the hotel, in stores and restaurants, at the airport, and at the race itself - was polite, helpful, and gracious. Maybe it is the beautiful setting or something in the water, but it sure was great to be surrounded by such terrific people. I hope to return to Idaho to race here again.
• The wide selection of race options meant there was something for everyone; there was even a 6 hour option for people who only wanted to spend a short time on the trail.
• The course was well-marked and fairly flat (but watch out for those rocks!).
• Food and drink were plentiful.
• Indoor restrooms were a blessing.
• The host hotel was convenient and inexpensive.

Bad things about this race: Nothing, really.
