Where’s Waldo? Locals Take the 100Km Challenge.
The 09-10 Montrail Cup ended in June with the Western States 100, but the 10-11 Montrail Cup began Saturday with the Where’s Waldo 100Km in Williamette Pass, Oregon.
Some of the top US ultrarunners lined up again this year and a few local standouts ended up with top-flight results.
After declining to defend his 2009 Tahoe Rim Trail 100 mile championship (3-weeks after Western States 100), Erik Skaden took on Where’s Waldo and finished 4th overall in 10:21, closely followed at 10:28 by a surging Mark Lantz who came in 5th overall and top master.
The overall winner of the men’s race was Timothy Olsen, who came in at 9:25. The women’s winner was 49-year-young Meghan Arbogast, coming in at 10:52.
The top local woman was Jamie Frink of Folsom, who was 7th female with13:05. Jenny Capel, sort of local from Reno, was 3rd woman with 11:39.
