CRUD will be hosting the 5th annual Ponderous Posterior Fat Ass on
Saturday, January 17th. Come enjoy some snowy trail running and then a
pot-luck afterwards. We will provide some food and non-alcoholic drinks,
but don't let that stop you from bringing your own dish to share along
with some beer. Please car-pool if you can; parking is limited right by
our house.
Start times: 7AM and 8AM.
Location:
523 South Fork, Palmer Lake, CO 80133 (Paul and Judy DeWitt's house).
If planning on parking at our house, please carpool. Parking is very
limited here. Here is a map showing how to get to our house. Follow
these directions and then turn right on South Fork. It is a dead-end
dirt road. We are the 2nd house on the right. https://goo.gl/maps/
Alternatively,
there is plenty of parking along Lovers Lane. As you are driving down
Spring Street, instead of turning left to go towards our house, turn
right and there are several small parking areas along the road both
before and after the tennis courts. The course goes past these tennis
courts at .5M, so you can also start here at about 7:05AM / 8:05AM as
the main group of runners come by. Or better yet, since you are
ultrarunners, park down by the tennis courts and then walk to the house
to stay warm before the start.

Short Course:
- 16.6M

Here is the Garmin Connect entry for the Short Course:
And here is the kml file overlayed on Google Maps for more detail:
Long Course:
- 26M and is the short course plus 3 side loops that will be clearly marked
No
matter which you are planning on running, I highly recommend traction
devices - expect snow or ice on most of the course. I'll have some extra
sheet metal screws here for last minute shoe modifications.
Aid Station:
There
will be just one aid station at approx 12M on the long course. This
will be at the Monument Preserve parking area off lower Mt. Herman Road.
If you have anything you want to be there, bring to the house before
the start and we'll have a vehicle to put it in.
