Runners leave the Islip Saddle parking lot and run West on the left (South) side of the road, enjoying the scenic view of Bear Creek thousands of feet below. Please exercise caution running through the Williamson Tunnels, as motorcycles are known to rip through at top speeds. 1.6 miles PAS runners turn left onto the PCT and follow the trail up and over Kratka Ridge (the scenic mound) for 0.9 miles to Eagles Roost Picnic Area, mile 28.4 at 6,666’. The course continues on Hwy 2 on the right hand side for another 4.6 miles, The heat picks up on the final 2 mile climb to Cloudburst as the road reflects heat up and the canyons conspire to block wind.

From the Cloudburst Summit CP Team (and the Radio Team who are not pictured)... Congratulations to everyone who toed the line in WW! Whether you reached the Finish Line or not, you did something that almost no one else would even consider! And to the Finishers, even more congratulations - wear your buckles with Pride and Joy! I have to give a special shout to our four Team Members who were among the Finishers - Chris, Raquel, Ryan and Kristin! Well done, Bastards! We were proud to be a small part of a very big race. Looking forward to 2019! Consensus from the team was Pirate Theme... think Carbo Pro, Water or Grog as the hydration options! Special thanks to Ken Hamada for entrusting us with such an important responsibility as a CP. And to Gary for, well, for just being Gary!
