Maybe the old axiom, “Ask and you shall receive,” is truer than I ever imagined. Way back in May of ’07, I wrote about the need for a fall east coast 100 miler. While perhaps not due to my request, this fall there will be two new 100 milers on the East Coast:

  • The Iroquois Trails 100 starting in Ithaca, New York on September 20-21, and
  • The Grindstone 100 in Swoope, Virginia on October 3-5.

Online entry to the Grindstone 100 opened the morning of March 12. Entry to the Iroquois Trails 100 has been open since early February.

Is it all a dream?

Check back soon for more information on both these races.
