It's BAD ; it's Jay's Peak

Badass Marathon is a 33.0 mile, mostly off-road, run. The race starts by climbing 4,000 feet over 9 miles to the summit of Jay Peak. Then racers head downhill for 4 miles, descending 2,000 feet on Ullr's Dream ski trail, continue on a series of trails through the woods connecting to Wilderness Village back road, and through Jay Village. Then racers will cross fields and rivers, follow a deer trail, and run in a brook. Yes, in the brook, for about 3 miles. A bushwhack and beaver dam leads to a swim across a 50-foot river, (aided by volunteers and a cable), and then racers will reach aid station 6. It is advisable to re-fuel and rest at aid station 6, because the worst mud hole in the world is yet to come on the last eight miles of the course. Are we MAD? stay tuned for more from Scott, Keith, Kevin & yours truly.
