The Denver, Colorado Mile High Metric Challenge races were held this past
weekend. Dire predictions of 80 mph winds with rain and snow simply DID NOT
occur. Excellent 50-55 degree temperatures with some gusty winds were
present throughout the race. Runners were able to choose between 4
different distances, 100K, 75K, 50K and 25K. All events took place on a
12.5K loop trail course in Chatfield State Park. The course features 3
short up-hills per 12.5K loop. Approximately 8.5K of each 12.5K loop are on
a wide dirt path; the remaining 4K is on a twisty forest trail along the
Platte River . This 4K section requires agile footwork and presence of mind
to stay upright and keep the pace fast. The course is at nearly 6,000 feet
elevation. Trail conditions were excellent. Scott Weber did a great job
organizing and putting on this annual event.
One course record was set. 1993 World Champion Marathoner, Mark Plaatjes of
the Boulder Running Company set a new 50K course record. Plaatjes' time of
3 hours 20 minutes 22 seconds broke Charl Mattheus' 50K course record of 3
hours 23 minutes and 02 seconds which was set in 1998. Charl Mattheus is
the 1997 Comrades Marathon Champion. Both Plaatjes and Mattheus are expected
to square off at this year's Comrades Marathon on June 16th and contend for
the championship together with the world's best ultramarathoners.
